While i sit in the dunes

Small seal, weened pup maybe
like a mermaid child
alone
on the beach below
legs tied together
hopping along
people on the foreshore
sending'em back
the huge surf
waves washin'm
back
further down the beach
keeping pace with the walkers
no where to go
can't stay on the beach, too tired to swim
sets out again
one last time
watching a seal
drown
while I
sit
in the dunes
