A slower pace
On the Banks
Palmettos sway
Translucent green
Or tawny papyrus
brown, weathered
Mesmerize
A northerner
Away from the beach
Under the cabana
Shade, drink, a stack of books
Novels, mysteries –
Spencer novels
Luxuriate in the chaise
Summer reading
To while the hours
In the warm
Without watch or watcher
To steal the mood
Bare feet in the sand
A motion over the book
A cord of pelicans slid by
Through heat waves
Muting the horizon
Warm water,
Flush with jellyfish
Twinges around ankles
Not refreshing
Slippery water
Saw grass sings
From sand in the breeze
A smell of summer
Before the palmettos
By their house
