Step out onto the sandbar
See the waves all around us
See these things shine, blue and green, in these nighttime waters of this Atlantic Ocean
Come see the sea around us
Fill your bathing cap with saltwater
Tip it over your hair
Hold my hand and run out into the waves
Pretend like nobody’s there
On the beach see the sand, you say to me, it’s purple with manganese, black with iron
See these lines here, see these lines here, year after year and year after year
Come see the sea around us
Hold your mouth wide open and
Eat up the land all about you
See the swallows in their nests in the cliffs and
Spiders riding the dune grasses
And I’m gonna float on my back out here for the rest of the whole damn day, and I’m gonna tip my head back here and swallow this whole landscape
