Summer???s Beginning

It’s early on a
day of vacation
Mid-morning in the
rest of the world
Numbers steadily
increasing
Walking on the
boardwalk

Behind me
the waves arrive
Nourishing and
nourished on the sandy beach
Summer’s beginning
sun, sand, surf
vacationers, walkers, joggers

It’s early on this
day of vacation
It’s early on the
boardwalk
