Coogee beach

Tuesday morning

I dive to melt the ice

and float

over the rippling waves

watching the beach

through my feet

I

close my eyes

lift my stomach

and feel the sun on my eyelids

on my face, on my body

I am

here

I walk home

wet and sandy

under the warming sun

My

flip flops flop

parakeets squabble in the trees

and i realize what i already know

I love this beautiful life
