Take it for granted, then, the sun. Right now
What else is there to do? Lie on the beach
And believe in mercy, oh yes, believe
The burnt skin and the surfers will still be
Here for days and years to come. Take it all
The sun, burn it all, the earth. Burn it all
As you walk up the beach, nonchalantly
Swaying your large shoulders, dragging your feet
Within the delicate silicate earth.
