The Two-Piece

The boy's friend
softened the dock's appearance.
Perhaps it was contrasting looks
that made me notice,
the student,
knees pulled tight against his chest,
ankles clutched,
the friend, a pair of legs stretched out
amidst an assortment of shapes,
some, like lines haphazardly coiled,
others, taut,
like the belly of a sail
on a reach, disciplined.
They both stood up as I approached,
the one, nervous,
the other, from jeans stepped out
and removing a sweatshirt.

Now - while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again...and again...
