green wellies.

dreamer
                                he called me
                                                         as i trudged across pebble and sand
                   behind him, placing my
                                                            smaller feet in his
                                                                                             larger footsteps
                              both hands thrust in pockets, head bent
                                                                                           down
                                         against the wind
                                                                     evening sun blinding
                                                beside me
                                                                  ankles
                                                                             sliding
                                                                                          in
                                              one-size-too-big-military-green wellies
                 back to the car
                                          body in one place
                           thoughts
                                         in another
                                                            dazed, cheeks red from
                        cold breeze biting
                                                      contemplating hot vinegar-and-salt
                                         chips 
                                                    storing memories of one last day
                                                                                                                                              

on the beach.
