Summer Not So Glad

Waves circling
frolicking dolphins
passing by

but I knew they were in disguise
from the fervour of sun
but I look back
to see a beautiful lunge

She dives back in
with subtle elegance
and lurches in
to the sea
with great discipline

I follow its rhythm
with every dive it takes
but it is too late
the dolphins are now bait
