Poem: planets away, deities, the dude in the $2 bar chomping pizza, saturn is always yours, mars mine…

beaches of the world

---

i should have stayed on the beach

where the sand cools

and Malibu shimmers up and around the cove on this western coast of the USA

and you can drift

and never come back

and i should have stayed where the sun flames

incandescence and spills memories 

in the Pacific

as it sinks to rise again somewhere else

and you

you
