Under the Coney Island boardwalk. c. 1959. By Bruce Davidson ©
BOARDWALK
By Charles Pierre.
This splintered swath
with its burning masses,
where nothing can grow,
hides a cool path
of sand and grasses
directly below,
a place of laughs
and eager kisses
only the teens know.
From the author’s 2014 collection Coastal Moments, Hayland Press, New York.
k.d. lang: “A Kiss to Build a Dream On.”
