Childhood Beach Poem by Leslie Philibert

Childhood Beach



the sky sunk low to the sea
wet towels slapping in the wind
young bathers
sea-eyed and water-faced
with chipped front teeth
sinews taut under young skin...

and the ebb
that makes stones drift
bewtween a child`´s thighs
down the beach
down the beach

running into the dilute
a salt step crying

footprints lived short
as if just lost

shouts stolen by the wind;
time to go.
