The Dune

The Dune 

The dune moves with tides,

becomes higher then fuller,

     then loses its front

during gales when waves

     pour into it,

     and through to its rear,

the sea washing back and forth

     through the marsh.

As things calm,     the wind

ruffles tall grasses, pelicans.
