california spring

Break

Spring in Southern California has

a more predictable rhythm.

Tumble of waves and 

pulse of tides.

Buckets and shovels and

ridiculous beach suits,

our color punctuates the

marine layer,

little feet pound wet earth,

siblings in arms,

found burrowed in

yesterday's hole,

our days a watercolor

of fluid and simple

movements,

our smooth

breath when 

together and away.
