BEACH SCENE 1970.
We made out on the beach;
in sand dunes,
not far from
the Mediterranean's reach.
After we lay
looking up
at the moon
and stars,
listening to
the sea's rush
on the sand
and a guitar
and singing
from the camp base party.
Wasn't it Pascal
who said infinite spaces
frightened him?
Miriam said.
Not fear
as we mean fear,
more an awe
at the infinity
of it all;
the stars and such,
I said.
Is kind of awesome;
makes you feel
kind of insignificant
in comparison.
That's what Pascal felt,
I think.
She put her hands
behind her head;
looked around her.
I wonder
if there is
a God?
Wonder is all
we can do;
either we think
He's there
or we don't;
no proof
either way.
She turned
and stared at me;
her hands still
cupping her head.
You won't tell anyone
what we did?
she said.
Of course not,
just us and ours.
She smiled;
unleashed her hands
and put a hand
on my shoulder.
It wasn't planned;
kind of spontaneous.
Yes, like buds
opening in Spring;
like day follows night.
She smiled again.
First time
I’ve had ***
on the sand.
I ran a hand
over her ****,
skimpy shorts,
warmth there.
A sound of music
from base camp
hung in the air.
BOY AND ******* A MEDITERRANEAN BEACH IN 1970.
