On the brink of a turquoise seizure
The salted crest of an ocean wave
Breaks free
Squint my eyes at the sun
Envision everything crystallized
In particles of light
Tiny beads of sand
Adhere to sun drenched skin,
Later to fall away
As wind and sun evaporate moisture
Everyone is in a good mood
Dancing, laughing…
Animals mimic with genuine affection
A tropical frenzy breaks out
In what will soon become
A tri-tone memory
Fading long after the blackest clouds set
Against the deepest tangerine sky
