A rainbow
Arch - perfect
Catch its colours in the street names.
Emerald. Ruby. Garnet
Watch the pier dribble people out over the sea
Where surfers hurdle the wind-whipped breakers
Under a shark-shaped cloud
We walk the tideline
Dig into conglomerated memories of seasides
Me an excited puppy
Scattering thoughts across the beach
Chasing every movement
You digging deeper
With a pale sunlight smile.
This is your place.
Amber streetlamps pull the last light from the sky
But we grin like dogs against the biting wind
Stumbling back over rain peppered pebbles
Sandblasted younger
