Longboard on Red Dirt

A wooden longboard leaning against a fence is a pause between water and workshop. Its rails carry small repairs, its deck has been polished by years of wax and feet, and its warm grain shines against the island's iron-rich red earth.

Morning glories take the fence without asking, opening blue at dawn and folding before the day grows hot. Together the board, flowers and road hold the unhurried beauty of things used often and kept well.
