An African Fishing Village

White sands extend forever
Water kissed by the sun
Tide moving out
Fishing nets heavy
Glistening muscles
“We’re gonna need a bigger boat”
Comes the mighty shout

Children gaze out
Boats slice the water
Sun slides down
Nets bursting the seams
Muscles bulge
People work side by side
Untangling the fishing gown

Evening sky on fire
With the African sun
Shadows fade away
Fishing nets empty
No brawn needed
Orange rose curtains,
Descend upon the day

Salty breezes blow
Night peeks through
Empty boats rest
Nets strewn aimlessly
Bodies relaxed
Home fires crackle
Caught fish tastes best
