******THE TASTE OF SEA SALT********

what now……………
a warm winter has passed
a too hot summer is here
green grass a crisp yellow
heat rising off asphalt

a time removed long ago
a young girl tanned brown
playing beneath the sun
beaches of white sand
riding waves to the shore

feeling sand on her wet body
tasting sea salt on her tongue
long hair matted to her head
wind blowing & tossing waves
time stands still forever

light peers in through curtains
drawn tightly close against heat
a life observed in passing
stillness steps forth to greet me
what now………………
