laughing youths smashed the words with their vigor and joy.
he wrote in the cool, moist grey mud-
lapping waves smeared the words slowly and meticulously.
he wrote in the consistent shimmering surf-
water pulsed in and around and held nothing.
he wrote in the dry, frigid air-
whispering winds breathed away the letters.
he wrote in his head-
engraved in the grey matter the story stayed.

everyday noises and thoughts concealed it in memory.
I like this one...the idea that words can never completely capture and sustain an idea or feeling that you experience.
