SEAL BEACH

S leepily
E normous seals
A re skinned while
L aying in the soft sand of the
B eaches, as aqua waves crash onto the shore and
E at away at the yellow sand
A nd take it out to the sea bed and all the pups see is the
C rimson colour of the ocean and all they
H ave left is the memory of their parents being skinned.
