FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

the young boy
runs to the sea

jumps in
complete glee

as a man he
comes back to
swim again

taking more time
to love
salt and foam

at midlife he
finds a chair and

sits there alone
longing for more

sunset comes
with so much
softness

warmth on his
shoulder

looking blankly
to an endless
horizon
