Glimmer
written by: Susan Glamuzina
they glimmer in the sun
besides the disappearing bubbles
looking like bubbles
blues and silvers
along the thin curving line
at the mark of high tide
in the charcoal sand
so pretty I want to get closer
but beware of the sting
the size of my little fingernail
I’m still allergic
and I’ve no EpiPen
pretty mini blue bottles
they glimmer in the sun
