The grains of white, pure sand swam and slid between her fingers as his fingers moved closer and closer. Their skins met as one hand clasped another. No spaces left.
The deep blue water lightened. Moonlight saw right through the waves as the sea met the shore. It lapped, it heaved, it rose up in foam and fear; Fear of surrender, laying bare a part of it that, once given, cannot be reclaimed.
Beneath it, the sand rose. It dampened and settled in wet arms, swimming with the recklessness and the knowledge of losing every part of itself, every moment. Bluebottles and seashells clanked and sparkled feelings against the dark. Seas and sands. Blue and white. The two swelled and latched onto each other.
The shore gave way and left the two undone. The sands sunk, taking everything that was left awash and giving some of itself to the seabeds. Breaths pulled back with the salty, summer breeze. Clear waters receded home only to return, hoping to soak up an inch more of the drier sand.
