Beach 11am

Eyes of deep-set sadness,
the pale girl
walks foot in front of foot,
along the curved wave boundary.
One side chocolate with moisture,
the other arid, lightly bronzed.
Her arms extend limply,
providing steadiness to her steps.
Her indigo sundress pulls me to the water,
but undersized whitecaps
push her towards me.
In-between,
she continues undaunted.
