Handsome Family Lie Down
Tuesday at dawn Michael's glasses washed ashore with a
styrofoam box and two broken oars. He'd been digging for
clams in the muddy swamp weeds when he heard the salt
water whisper to him, "Lie down, lie down in the dark
rolling sea. When you get to the bottom we'll kiss you to
sleep." Michael threw his glasses in the cold green
water. Hermit crabs ran as he dove down under. One of his
shoes bobbed on the waves. Seagulls circled until it
finally sank.
