Fiona

A sunny life is not for me, nothing lasts forever, waves kiss the palm trees, I look at the sand, brown bodies keep us together, to leave just like that, I sip a tiger beer, a leopard sits in a Baobab tree, she eyes the Serengeti, an old trail on dry land, where silver mules are tethered, makes me cross mountains, embark upon terrible feats, she never was a planner, drink a little holy whisky, I’ll be better in heaven, the beach seethes, she says you're jesting?
