Keith Francese writes



barbs

I lie in the sun 
beside a woman 
far-too-pretty. 
she is all
 
brown wet skin, shiny, 
very little bathing suit, 
and yet, at this moment, 
terribly cold
 
three children in the surf 
beat a dead jellyfish 
with a white coral rock 
far-too-many times.

it all comes apart
and lies in the sun. 
the tide lapping 
at its insides.
