my return

relieving
an occasion to walk off
into smooth briny pools
sharp shimmering sunbeams
misty saline air

amusing
one hundred and thirty-five
includes the park and the rides
and yet this… just outside
so magnificent… and free of fee

enthralling
the clatter and screech
drowning in the breakers
the smell of six dollar hotdogs
carried away by the breeze

fulfilling  
how it stays… increases in me
like an expanding spume
filling the empty spaces
accompanying me on my return
