The Beach, Even So
craving adventure
I dream of salt in the air
but I hate the heat
I book a condo
one with air conditioning
a balcony too
I know too well that
direct sun may be harmful
for my condition
but drinking color
from the morning sunrises
and the sunsets too
even from a porch
real adventure can be had
watching the dreamscapes
soaking up the sun
warming my romantic heart
no sunscreen needed

I especially love the phrase “drinking color,” the title, and the way you work the sun into the last stanza.
Thank you, Gaby!
