Sea sucks,

sea ‘n sand

 

dragonfly

tumbles

 

you stand:

dark silhouette

 

unmoving.

 

Sharks ride

jet skis

 

cruise the

bay,

 

turtles graze

& tourists drink.

 

Ground heat

rises, cicadas,

 

shiver of rain

on tin roof.

 

Old men pass

pass & re pass

 

eyeing up

the talent.

 

We talk,

hot wires

 

of desire,

while time

 

unrolls, stealthy

like the tide

 

eroding us

until we become

 

see through.
