FIRST KISS

(This was written after holidays at the Gold Coast at the finish of High School, the rite of passage now known as “Schoolies Week.”, December 1962.)

O to be at Kirra Beach, Swimming in the surf, Baking on the golden sand, Or scruffing on the turf.

O to run up Kirra Hill
Beneath his flashing smile, Or to walk along the sand
With him beside me all the while.

O to skate around the rink
Holding tight his hand,
Or just to sit and watch him skate. His skating was so grand.

O to climb up Razorback
To watch the setting sun,
And feel his first kiss on my lips. Who’d ever be a nun?
