Cote d'Azur

It rained for almost
the entire fortnight –
we may as well
have been in Bognor,
but on our very last day
at least the sun came out
and it was hot.
You stripped off
on the beach – a towel
hiding your newfound
modesty – just turned
thirteen, going on
twenty-one.
You fancied a swim –
I walked with you
to the shore – my arms
outstretched; minder
as I was, to all things yours.
Your clothes, your shoes...
your heart, that until then
you’d worn on your sleeve.
I watched you wade
until the sea passed
your waist – shrug off
the sun as it nudged
your shoulder; you turned
and waved – beckoned
me to follow. And I might
have done, except my arms
were full and where you led
I could not go.
