We lie on our backs on the grass,
which is actually just clover
kept short and soft to the touch.
The palm tree arches over us,
protecting us from the sun
that reflects off the harbor
just beyond the sand
we can see through our toes.
Time must still pass here,
but it doesn't have an even flow,
the seconds counting up
with each rattle of the palm fronds.
