Here on Narragansett Beach <br />figures on wet sand in the afternoon <br />cool, foamy surf touching bare flesh <br /> <br />Like the touch of a strong lover, <br />I welcomed it all at once, <br />savoring the love songs for later <br /> <br />Hovering sea-birds, larger than life <br />consistent in flying beyond the horizon <br />What pleasure in such a flight? <br /> <br />The sun was so deliberate <br />so quick to brown my milky skin, <br />Such a gift this place in daylight. <br /> <br />Everything else is insignificant, I thought <br />And my body trembled thinking of you, <br />my bare feet pressing into warm sand.<br /><br />Louise Marie DelSanto<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-beaches-narragansett-rhode-island/
