Motherly Beach kiosk sells drinks, coffee and snacks In May, it becomes an ice-cream shop * Toddler falls on the cement his mother offers him snuggles * Terror is the buzzing sound of a swarm of bees circling my body the injection kit left at home * Summer lovers hurry to hand each other the towel when they get out of the sea * She breaks taboos rewrites the rules * Beneath a timber hatch water flows in dark culverts * I translate a poem that is already a translation Whose poem is this?
