Sunset at Watergate Bay

A quilt of dog blue clouds is stretched
not quite to the horizon, where
fading salmon skies meet
the sharp, dark rim of the sea.
On the beach, in the gloaming,
dozens of children play; tip-and-run,
football, French cricket, straining to see
the ball, each other, while the damp
fringe of the shore
shines in the last orange glow
of the dying day.
