Built a huge bonfire
“A & M” style
Washed up logs from the shore
and coconut shreds
sparks arising like fireflies
weaving in and out of the smoke
In our natural state
diving headfirst
beneath the waves
away from the ever increasing
distant shore
where the voices
of our party
became inaudible
the only sound that mattered
was the constant crash
of incoming crests of foam.
Couldn’t be further away
from those other realities
the frigid snowfall in the midwest
or my stuffy upbringing back home
Montezuma Beach
naked with the sharks
where ever they were
Quietly back to the sand
looking for her top
that was carried away with the tides
my clothes safely tucked
away beneath a palm tree
unmolested by the water,
I laughed in
sympathy as I put on my shorts.
