richie the great 1/9/23

my once best friend led me down a beach in my dreaming

them with new friends, and yet, the same beach, and us 

forking left toward the waters, a brilliant cloudless expanse

their lip piercing waves in sparkle, glinting from their smile

they are toned and bronzed, their gaze is loveful and generous

we have an average discussion, a laugh, and share the same

internal urge to disrobe and enter the ocean

for a moment i hesistate, i can feel my braless bust beneath

a loose fitting tank, but we lock eyes, then through our heads back, 

like a swim suit ever stopped us.
