A home by the sea

I have become a collector of sea-worn bricks
and sea-worn brick pieces
washed up on ever-shifting
pebble-cobbled beaches

One day I will build a house
with them all
– a house of clay
and tides and time

a sea-shaped house

with no right angles

and no sharp edges

a home to lunar rhythms
and coastal rhymes
