On an August Day
by Lee Bennett Hopkins
Ocean waves rush in
just in time
to give the shore-brids’
hot burning legs
a cool, cool bath.
c. 1986 Lee Bennett Hopkins

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
