Northeast Monsoon

toes scrunch sand, sand pelts skin
salty caress lift, play with tresses in the wind

spirits rise with cracking sun
welcome intrusion through the wind

-ing down of sleepy darkness shrouding
shadow kissed by winds

northeastly with promises of crisp coolness
tamper the heat of soles. blow, wind

blow through my heated mind
sweating humid island winds

remember easier days when the sand was for playing
when I was unshakable, riding the wind
