The heat of the September afternoon
Was showing no signs of releasing its grip
I had just left the beach and noticed
A large white yacht moored In the deep waters
Opposite the weather worn coastguards cottage
This happened occasionally and did not attract much attention
That was until Lilith stood on the deck
Offering free mackerel to those who lived in the village
She then dived into the sea holding a transparent bag
And passed it to a slender woman in a black dress
According to inn keeper she would do this
To celebrate her birthday on hot days such as today
