With my right hand
I have scooped up white virginal sand.
With my left,
sand as black as an evil soul,
reduced to dust in the furnaces of hell.
Each, from the same? beach!

I have watched fairy penguins
take their midnight waddle,
out of a sea,
calling to their young/
Counted the clawed imprints
left, on that beach.

Fed the wild red kangaroo,
hand to mouth, also on a beach,
with shadowy evening forest
as backdrop.

Come between a rock sunning,
majestic sea-lion and the ocean.
Almost dying, on a beach,
consequence of thoughtless,
audacity!

Sat on a fallen, tropic tree trunk,
next to my love.
Drinking cold mexican cerveza,
droplets wetting the sands,
of that beach.

It being my fondest memory,
of beaches!
