Sibilant sounds sift slowly southwards…

Sirens shatter surf‘s soothing sighs…

Searchers’ steps stagger… stumble…

Smashing simple, silica sandcastles swiftly.

Such shock… sorrow… seeing ships sink!

Seawater seeps steadily starboard.

Souls ‘shout’ silently… seeking saviours.

So soon sadness soars… surpasses…

Sorrow’s supreme!

??????????

Somewhere, sometime, subsequently… someone’s sister seeks solace.

Sepulchre stands symbolically solitary.

Silver cylinder sharply strikes several, similar cylinders…

Sounds stir sultry sunset’s silence.

Soggy scrap shows… scribbled script’s salutations… circle seascape scenery…

Cemented… stuck solidly… shrine’s stone step…

‘Sayonara” she sobs…
