Sandpipers


	Sandpipers weave between waves
	   hunt tidal pools
	   looking

	The sussurus of surf
	   swelling 
	   in and out
	reels them in
	chases them away with meeps
	only to return again

	Dunegrass scratches counterpoint
	to the staccato clack of wires on masts
	While gulls dive scavenging scraps
	sandpipers sprint another lap
	looking for something in the sand
				 the sea
				 the sounds
