by a fleeting glimpse of death

holiday at the lake
at the beach but not on it
under a tree, reading a book
couples swim & lie in the sand
unpack little lunches
the waves come in gently
a tanned boy builds a castle
“where are you visiting from?”
looking up from her crossword
“we live here”
one eye on his grandchild
the sun shines off the wave tops
evergreens ring the lake
under the tree, he writes it all down
wonders who he might tell
