Walking on foam where
Waves meet the sand
Bares her youth in her belly
Flat, feminine and tanned
Hidden behind shades I
Pretend not to see
She flashes a smile
I know
She sees right through
Old fool me
A waterman his face is split
By wind and salt and sand
Cracks so deep his skin looks
Like old broken pavement
Emerges from a Kombi
Rolling tobacco
Making tea
I wave he nods
Looks away
Quickly out to sea
Sun dusted cinnamon
They are drawn
A place of gathering
Tonight fires will glow
Out near the point
I will still be here
Angels may arrive tomorrow
Today don't bother me
On the beach and in the Sun
With
The Golden Breed
