Analysis of Surf Fin
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
The papaya rested on her bottom lip, as she paused to eat.
Her words were busying themselves: "Preach?, You gonna eat that?".
Eyes pleaded from the sea.
Healthily, saintly hr sung but he did not want the fruit that day.
Sluggish or not.
