Ocean Currency

Ezra Maloney-Dunn

When I was little my grandfather had

a collection of sand dollars.

I would peer above

the edge of the table, marveling

as he brushed the sand off of his newest

acquisition.

It wasn’t until I was older

(after he had passed)

that I learned he had been collecting

skeletons.

I still pick up sand dollars when I walk

on the beach. I handle them gently as

the ocean bids farewell to the life it

once sustained.
