On a Winter Beach

The waves crashed and pounded like motorway pile ups, so my partner on this winter walk thought. I shouted to him what do you want,!  his ears rattled and his head shook as if shocked by gunfire,
his face was screwed up like old newspaper , he looked confused, his face went calm, then he said good bye walked away-I
turned away and walked in the opposite direction , I had run after him too many times before. This is where I wanted to be.
