Girl on a Beach

15 4 10
                                    

She stands at the edge of the world,

Flinging stones at the froth and churn,

wet ankles glistening in the evening sun.

One day a shy young man will find her

The most beautiful woman alive and

Kiss her hard under a yellow moon.


He will fear the gaze of others on her,

In case his kind eyes are not enough

To hold her heart and keep her love.

But today she is alone and wondering,

Her mind a quiet riot of furious why,

Lost in the westerly wind's growling cry.
