Abstract
The day is wild and wilful. A day of barnacles on parade and blue beach flowers with sand scurrying across the beach. Churning sand and salt water. The sand makes its own waves, patterns today.
By the time I return, my footprints are blown away in the wind.
As I crest the dune, I am sand-blasted all over, especially my face, like tiny pinpricks. The easterly wind is so strong that it snatches at my throat and I gasp, unable to shut my mouth. I feel the sticky salt air on my face and when I touch it, it is covered in fine sand.
