Sketch
By Carl Sandburg
The shadows of the ships
Rock on the crest
In the low blue luster
Of the tardy and the soft in rolling tide.
A long brown bar at the dip of the sky
Puts an arm of sand in the span of salt.
The lucid and endless wrinkles
Draw in lapse and withdraw.
Wavelets crumble and white spent bubbles
Wash on the floor of the beach.
Rocking on the crest
In the low blue luster
Are the shadows of the ships.
