The Poetry of
Michael G. Khmelnitsky

december twenty
second
on the beach

waves
    surf
       girls

                everywhere
  bronzed white
      chicks

             in ostentatious
        bikinis
          gold skinned

prepubescent girls
digging holes in the
sand

caramel
      brown
            girls

           raising their
    surfboards
       high

             to show me
        their
           breasts

(death in
venice &
all the rest

I sit
    on
       the

              beach
    sucking on my
        pen
