Opinions
They always say you should go for a walk.
By the sea. To breathe the air. Stretch the limbs.
So, I went the other day.
The sea smelled of rotting seagrass, fish
and winter.
Its colours green and steely.
A flock of seagulls bickered over scraps of food.
At the part where the beach loops the
corner, I turned around.
From heavy, wet sand,
A single file of footsteps stared back at me.
Thank you for reading.
