On a beach
a crescent beach
with gentle waves
and gentle fisherman
On a beach
a beach of calm
its soft white sand
and soft dark women
On a beach
a tranquil beach
shimmering, shallow warmth
shimmering, turquoise mirror
On a beach
a beach of palms
with hammocks strung
and strung out travellers
On a beach
this beach of huts
each day anew
each day more crowded
On a beach
beached with life
local life and foreigner
dogs and cows won’t move over
On a beach
this beach is ours
this beach is theirs
this beach is everyone’s
