Churning, choppy
Adrift in dark, deep riptides
of graying strands
Tangled, twisted strings of seaweed
Tightly taut
Trimmed to eroding hairline
Rough undertow
Parted at center, with 52 split ends
A tidal wave of braided rope
Rushing ringlets
Buoyed and knotted by anchored pearls
Storm surge
a curly kinky raging tide
of fizzling, frantic frizz
Teased coarse tints
Form floating tufts
of bleached streaked faded color
Rippled whipped foam
Combing the salt-and-pepper surf
with furious tall crests, that crash
a hairy ebb and flow, brushing
sandy pink sloping shoulders
