Add fish with bones

and birds with feet

slugs and jellies will 

make it sweet

salted liberally

and splashed with foam

warmed from above

then left alone

Stirred and paddled 

upwelled and churned

downside up and turned around

best served with a firm sandy crust 

Dip your toes

slowly at first—tasting the cool

then plunge

whole feet up to your knees

cleanse the work from

knotted shoulders 

clenched jaw

breathe in the briny broth 

delight in the umami funk

while tossing off

the work week funk

slurp up the pleasures of sand 

and salt and wind and water

make it a whole body experience

It’s the weekend
