After The Beach

Aplós, June 22nd, 2022

What’s that? A strange artifact floating in the sea, and another, to run your fingertips over?

A salty seasoning of the skin and tasting citrus, sour on our lips? How out-of-place do those kidnapped seashell looks on a kitchen counter? How sand sticks to feet — until it makes contact with the bed.

Is that the transcendental feeling of cleanness, paired with a slight exhaustion?

Sometimes the main event of a beach day is quite simply the satisfaction of returning home.
