THE GIRL AT THE BEACH
George Bowering

Fix on the girl at the beach
whirr of sand at her feet
as she ran
bare backed
into the water
Summer sun
that descended also
on Constantinople
hot then and hotter than now
In Oliver at end of summer
late tourists
make small clusters on the beach
and we
wait for a single girl to
walk in and
get her bathing suit wet
It's toward the end
of something
when you sit there doing nothing
in the sun
Byzantine girl
walked into the water
taking the sun with her
