David Park. Bathers, 1956 oil on canvas. 48 by 52 in., 121.9 by 132.1 cm. From a Sotheby’s auction catalog, now on someone’s dining room wall.
From my days on Post a flashback for a summer day. I am writing free verse today.
We met where chilled waves wet the shore
with whitecapped thrills but wanting more,
this witless bet Mixed love with war…
