<strong>South</strong> Beach to North Beach<br />
Myfanwy Hudson<br />
we grew ourselves up through this sea<br />
lay on spinifex sand, screeching<br />
at sulphur stars and orange skies<br />
night-time meandering<br />
to watch the peach sun rise<br />
above the old Norfolk Pines<br />
we raised ourselves up through the sea<br />
seventeen in kelp-coated lace and<br />
Smirnoff-soaked loam<br />
sea-glass hearts and driftwood bone<br />
our bellies swallowed the horizon<br />
to gulp down the sky<br />
we were seventeen,<br />
our mouths held back the tides.<br />
