LONG FORGOTTEN SUMMER -Poetry by guest author Enno de Witt


 



This edge of dune and sand, the sea

long ago the realm of mammoths now

home to jellyfish when an easterly wind

blows, hours before anyone left the beach

and went home we were already entrenched

in a windowless bathroom, heat and silence

our allies, virgins we were, untouched by poetry.
