Beyond The Blue - Two

I woke late
the sea was my first good morning
outside the slatted glass windows
open to the salt breeze.
feet away it broke
just beyond a weathered wall
created to keep its kisses
from getting everything too wet.
this paradise escape
me in a black shift
broken.
She took me in
fed me coffee and orange juice
handed me a spoon
for half a ripe cantaloupe
and placed me outside,
to see…
once again,
to see
