Penetrating heat danced on the naked children
Some were naked, carrying their clothes
Others half naked, more-or-less dressed
Fluttering like a bat, they leapt to the beach
More and more, taking their cue
The children walked singly or in twos
Crowds of hurrying feet crossed the sandy platform
Panting and grinning like dogs
Others concealed their fair heads in the dark forest
In the miles of palm and platforms of undergrowth
Brown, tangle-like, chestnut, sandy heads were trembling in shock
They waited for the loud blow
Piggy watched n the shadow of the fallen trunk,
Noticed a bat like creature
Dancing upon the hot sand
He speculated something was being done
A child's grin was concealed in the shadow
He waited.
