Hands outstretched brimming
with stars he tossed them
one by one
into the foaming waves
just to watch them melt
just for fun
Overhead the moon smug and dry
smiled
to see her competitors
treated with such disrespect
leaving her
to rule the night alone
But the sea wanting no part
in this frivolous show
hurled herself against the rocks
until her salt-spray plumes
scattered those slowly-sinking lights
like glitter
across the hesitant sky
