Wave Jumpers

Daddy let's go back
to the ragged lacey foam
rushing towards us, and
dragging us away.

Daddy let's go back
to getting salt-soaked in the sun
epic battles with the sea
that we charged into together.

Daddy let's go back
to when I always reached for you
greeting rolling violence with delight
because you laughed at it for me.

Daddy –
let's go back and jump some waves.
