The summer sand was so hot
it almost melted our feet
so that the water-cooled sand
felt like a bit of heaven.
But we put our blankets
on the searing sand anyhow,
and we listened to laughing children
and raucously rude gulls crying overhead.
The sound of the waves
gently bumping
into the beach
sang a summer lullabye.
The sun skipped across
the tops of the waves
and the heat melted
our bodies together.
