Portobello beach

a young woman reads her book on the beach, stimming her wild bob as she reads

an instagram selfie, arms outstretched in front of little sail boats

a man in khaki cameo with a metal detector

me, barefoot, in the hot sand thinking about us in Barcelona 

a woman rinses her bra in the sea

BBQ whiffs on the wind

two young girls collect rubbish on the beach 

an infant carries a blackened log as he emerges from the sea. 

someone pushes a sail boat off the shore – it’s a struggle 

a man rubs and pats his bare Porty belly with pride

in this moment on a Saturday afternoon
