A Day at the Beach

File:Bundesarchiv Bild 183-P0706-0115, Rostock, 18. Ostseewoche.jpg

A cool dip at the beach, Warnemünde, Rostock, Baltic Sea: photo by Joachim Spremberg, 8 July 1975 (Deutsches Bundesarchiv)


She saw its glories then, the sea's glories,
through her eyes, the roaring sea, one of the girls who were running,
running to the sea with their glancing eyes,

the sea was in the noise the girls made,
made constant cry, caused constantly a cry,
heard by the girls standing off from it, seeing it, running toward it,

it was she and not the sea the sea heard, then,
hearing itself in her words, through the ears of the sea,
in her words, running into the sea.

The other girls heard and were stirred.
Whose spirit is this? they said, because they knew
it was the spirit they sought and knew there in the sea.

Who is it that is singing? they asked the sea.
