At The Beach<br />

by Christopher Hileman<br />

In those days I thought<br />

maybe I could still keep you,<br />

at least for a while.<br />

I schemed and worked up<br />

snares for your soul, so I hoped.<br />

I thought I needed<br />

you so near I could<br />

feel your breath in my fey ear.<br />

Then you got too hot<br />

and you rose up off<br />

the blanket, shook off the last<br />

of the sand, put out<br />

your hand to them all<br />

and they led you far away<br />

despite what I said.<br />
