beach umbrellas at the foot of the sagging pier, forever
towels wrapped in ribbons on a sandstone floor
* * *
don’t know this beach as a sandstone floor
how long a floor measures good fortune
wrapped in sandstone ribbon
this beach a long floor
doesn’t good fortune wrap itself in ribbon
knowing this how long
a good beach wrapped sandy fortune
kiss my face running with
new black Eagle purity at the soapy foot
of umbrellas she’ll kiss my
pure soapy Eagle face
while umbrellas run with new black
at her foot I’ll kiss this
new black soap opening
umbrellas forever facing
my Eagle kiss in the foot run pure
soap face Eagle
umbrellas run at the foot
forever new black
