Beach Day Poem by Kirby Wright

Beach Day

Rating: 4.0


I stride vacation sand,
Feet burning.

Three pelicans glide north
Above the breakers.

Kelp beds offshore
Pretend to be reef.

The tide throws up
A stew of seaweed, stones

And plastic shovels.
Where are the wedding rings

Lost at sea?
Blonde slides into surf

Harboring spirits
Of unborn children.

The challenge of skin:
Tan lines from a watch.
