Fullness
A little hole on a wet sandy beach resounds with the sound of the sea. The fullness of the sea merges and becomes one with a tiny hole in the ground.
My finger digs deep.Â
First there is wet sand
then water spurts up from below it
like a spring.Â
I put my ear to it.
It is the boom of the sea.Â
A tide breaks over me,Â
my body surges seawards.
