La Ciotat Beach


I am waiting at the railway station

My morning train has been delayed

A gathering of happy seagulls I hear

The sky is cloud orange due to a recent shower

It is very warm but I can still taste the morning chill

Rebecca Decker has just messaged me from her bed

Am I coming to the beach she asks in her sleep

I tell her that I am travelling towards Nice today

But will join her on the beach tomorrow at ten

I receive no reply as she has crept into her dreams
