The sun was about to set, scoffing at unpredictable waves, hovering inches above the ocean, mulish on settling. And just at that moment, when the sand became rose-pink, shimmering like the wavelets, I saw a butterfly wing in the sand, a half sail flapping, it’s orange powder unstable in the wind. Remnants of chance and romance Drift along the sands to the shore. |
