On an August Day

Ocean waves rush in
just in time
to give the shore-brids’
hot burning legs
a cool, cool bath.

Bookseedstudio mentioned this book previously, here. And so my heart found these lines, thinking of our dear LBH:
On an August Day
It was time to
sing
the last
line

I like your poem Jan. It makes me think and wonder. What does the last line say (and can you dance to it)?
