His small hand enfolds her finger Grasping for security Adventure on an ocean pier Sea green sunbeams Shining up from below Spying the Boardwalk The mammoth roller coaster looms He Licks lips, anticipates Cotton candy, rides, hot dogs The pier breathes in, sighs His grip tightens As she guides him along Puffs of steam spiral slowly Boiled crabs deftly dismantled Whack, whack, whack Shiny shelled shrimp on show of ice Bouquet of lemon and garlic They continue to pier’s end His eyes widen as he listens To sounds of barking She holds him over the rail Below, an amazing sight Seven seals swimming He giggles gleefully at Silky chocolate skin Puckish dark eyes Whiskers Flapping flippers But if she lets go, he’ll surely fall He reaches around her neck She gently pries his hands away Turns him back towards the seals Reassures him that she won’t let go Not ever Not in a million, trillion years. © 1999 CM Bailey |
