Spring Break - Day 3

A plane coming

Over the water, so low

Above the waves, its wings tilt

See the people standing on the beach

Watching far down the beach

Looking up

Perfect wobbly shading

Roared over the beach

Huge, dark shadow

Flattening

Spewing along the sides

Backed against the boardwalk

Heart is thumping

Bursting with the sound

Stinging plane gathered speed

Gathered height

Was up, over and past

She realized

See his face

His blue eyes huge

Blowing across the beach

Without thinking

Spitting out sand

Wiping her eyes

The noise fading

See Albert's hand trembling

Reached out and grabbed his arm

"It's alright," she told him

Everything went still

Waves rolling in on the shore in front of them
