‘The sea is high again today, with a thrilling flush of wind'
– Lawrence Durrell, Justine (Alexandria Quartet) Faber, 1961
moments ago a picturesque gesture
reminiscent of a masterpiece on canvas
a sight to behold of a famous master
a sudden change enduring of a blast
the sea is high again today
with a thrilling flush of wind
never to deter an angel at play
but an intimidating testing scene
an incline to prosper a surge of surfers
bevy of beauties to tame the waves
disappearing under and appearing later
teasing skillful maneuvers in its place
weaving and sliding in and out a beauty
a picture of motion in all of confidence
beach boys taking on a challenge not a rarity
comes another day another show of appearance
