Peter Lattu

the beach

served up
on a tray:
two Adirondack chairs
painted green
looking out
at the ocean
tide rolling in
waves lapping the shore
sandpipers
scuttling along
the tide line
their tracks
washed away
by the waves
all under blue skies
with white clouds
sailing by
the beach
served up
on a tray
made in Italy
for you and me
