under the pulse

i deeply miss that australian beach
screaming belly up
crashing into the pulse of the earth
my body pulling thru the veins
that feed China, that feed my 1/2 acre lawn
crying hard and gargling that freezing tide
until it tosses me back up
slapping my salted back with spray and mindfulness.
i miss that beach like i miss God sometimes.
