wræc driven by the sea
seawrack,
heaped above the tideline
sun steams
open stormflung
treasure,
bursting iodine bladders
small crab
scuttles
from beneath
dulsedriftwoodplasticringsdeadurchins
sparkle-scoured glass chips
unshelled
the air is clear
water calm
pace slowly
along wave edge
pick open the gifts
wave-driven to your very feet
one perfect star
tinselled in seagrass
