Sandpiper
written by: Clive Grewcock
Jittering across the shingle
like a shifting shape of light
glancing over wet pools
on sand.
I must confess,
I had to look you up
in a once used reference book
to find out what you are.
It identified what –
but I had no expectations of who
because your busy character,
scuttling over sand and pebbles
is too individual to label.
Then you are lost
in your own stoney
camouflage.
