Putting Ladybugs in a Shoe

The winds come from the direction of the moon
Like skates across the floor where the sand blooms
They push the seabirds back, turn wave crest into breath
The withdrawing tide a skein of tremulous veins

This sets up somehow the unexpected
What we glide through like the kites
Oblivious to the hand that holds the thread
Just the magnitudes of dust, the gust trajectories
