I feel the ocean differently

What wasn’t prickly is now prickly and what tasted salty now tastes less salty

When I enter the ocean from this direction, I also must leave the ocean from a new direction

and the shore looks differently

The trees above the shore seem to be grounded differently

at times lying nicely shading me below

but at times making it difficult for me to see above

The sand feels differently a little harder to moosh in between the toes

and a little more difficult to squish underneath

The different angle feels good in the water

i can put myself in like a spoon dropped in yogurt mixing with chocolate and fruit

The birds still move calmly overhead

and the ants still find a way through the sand at my feet
