The Goat, Poets on the Beach By Antony Di Nardo
Last evening, just before dark, the sun was a blur towards the west, the beach a cast of thousands, balls bouncing and familiar music and the felt of human flesh on sand and a gathering of poets naked and nude The sun was a blur towards the west and a goat gathered on the side of the shore among the bouncing balls and human flesh that met with poets sunning themselves in the gloaming trapped in the last of light for a day Maybe more And dusk was so much more than dusk and the sounds of voices on the beach mouthing the words of the goat, if a goat could speak, left on the side of the shore, lost to the sea and soon to be lost in a poem where a gathering of poets has come to the beach to read to the goat
