Freeverse 478

6/3/21

the sand slipped away
and the wave pulled
like a magnet, or
a tug of war, with the sea

I panicked for a second
mouth full of salt and fear
until I remembered I can
I can, I can, I can
somewhat swim

so I pulled on the water
rediscovering the webs on my hands
with eyes closed
until I found
unslippable sand
