canopy, curtain

sun caressing awaiting skin

pacific waves singing their anthem

hints of coconut and cocoa butter

portable speaker fusing

a melody mixer.

canopy haven

slippery melon slices

toasty sand between parted toes

waited-

for a day

like today…

–

window fogged

storm raged

sigh covered beaten reflection

as feverish rain

streaked.

waiting-

silence deafening

lights click off

walls come hold close

curtain wrapped around the throat

help

me.

a beach ball sails

through the peak of the sea-

red blue and white stripes

screening out the sun
