Spiny oysters and snails live
beads or glitter with hot glue
the copper wire with lengths for each of the lights
you are a beach walker lined with forests of evergreen
rivers are a jar of sea glass
zones of mud crannies along eroded shores
young drift in the water, mimicking fallen gray mullet
the trees above the rising tide over the bead wire
the crab-eating frog lives on a head pin,
plastic with a button inside the earring
