on a break

by elisa hinson - Libra

her Wicked Weasel 
swimsuit thrown careless
across her board
as if on afterthought
though more
a testament to last year's
victory bourne
in the back of
a Chaos bathroom

the surf has long
receded now

again in the arms
of an Austin trend
flying by
like those
tiny cowboy hats
everyone was
sporting back then

she wore one
too a pink one
and pleather pants
i stuck my camera in
for safe keeping

laughing later
as she click click clicked
away

her boyfriend 
caught up in competition

it is now
as i lie here
her face relaxed
in sweet exhalation

that i wonder
at the winds and the waves
that have brought 
us together

now
here
pondering
fate

and the finality
of leaving again
