Old Photograph

you 
on the beach
in the blazing sun 
face down
       naked 
on the sand
soft waves 
lapping
at the shore
sea water 
glistening
   on your skin
 blue eyes
squinting
      up at me

the scent 
of you
even now
    lingers

Thanks, Ilene. I'll do my best to keep it open. Hope a strong wind doesn't come along.
