Tumbled
Churned
Arrayed
Displayed
Laid out
To glisten
On parade
To rest
A quest
That is denied
Sucked back
To grind
Each other
Down
Grated
Dragged
Then rolled
Around
Twice daily
They broadcast
Their sound
By movements
Of
Earth’s Oceans
Round
Hollowed
Contoured
Cream and brown
Pebbles tidal
Duly sorted
Mottled
Coloured
Wet then salted
On the shore
Laid out

Exhausted
