Saugatuck Dunes

At the shore...
face pricked by sand, eyes watering, then squeezed shut against the
glare of sun bouncing from water to beach, you can breathe in clouds
and fish and grit all at once

At your back are the comforting trees waving,
at your feet are the gracenotes of grasses, ahead the water rocks in
its sandy cradle and the gulls cry like babies.

When you go home,
your bed and your sleep
seem deeper.
