the exhausted sands lie pummeled with footprints
then, amidst soothing evening caresses
the beach stretches out cautiously
unclothed of crowds at last

a domed skull of dusky sky
western visor drawn down in orange mist
before the glowing orb, blurred and globular
phalanxes of knuckled clouds stacked like
giant flying wings hunting it down

yeah ho, look above!
what a glowing sight!
a rainbow burnished bright

two girls dancing
along the sea edge
twisting, blending and bubbling together
skipping forwards, then bodies arched backwards
in blithe merriment

before the settling dark
