Their Beach

Before the sun. They are there. On their beach. The sleepers sleep, on their sand. Laying in the night, By the water. The surfers sit, on their boards. Looking out to sea, For the wave. The fishers wait, on their pier. Watching the lines, For the catch. The sun rises. The outsiders arrive. The shops open. The intruders arrive. Cars fill the street. The sleepers, surfers, fishers vanish. The sun sets. During the night, Before the sun. They return to their beach.
