Beach air

                    Specifically, a rough gust

Reeking of still water

Aroma of deteriorating shells

Rusting my window screen

Seagulls delight in stench

Throwing their feathers about

Beach air

                    Specifically, a day without wind

Lingers throughout the block

The essence of rotting fish

Stray cats lured to by scent

On the prowl for their next meal

Beach air

                   Specifically, a constant breeze

Rushing up the rocky shore

Pushing through the foam tipped waves

Breaches the wet earth to rust my window screen
