Beach, but the kind with a bar. A black one-shoulder swimsuit with a cut-out at the waist, an ivory linen wrap skirt with a tortoiseshell buckle, a straw boater I am carrying, not wearing. The wind wanted the hat. I won. Wear it when the sea goes gold, barefoot.

Coast at sunset: a black one-shoulder swimsuit with a cut-out at the waist, an ivory linen wrap skirt with a tortoiseshell buckle, a straw boater in hand.

A black one-piece with an asymmetric strap that crosses the chest and a cut-out at the waist, matte fabric, no hardware. Over it, an ivory linen wrap skirt with a tortoiseshell-style buckle and a tie, the front split high enough to walk up stone steps. A straw boater with a black band, carried more than worn.

This is the version of beach that includes a bar. Summer, the hour the sea goes gold. The skirt is the piece: it goes over any dark swimsuit and over a black bodysuit in town, and the slit means it moves. Sunglasses large, hair down, a flat sandal or barefoot. The hat is for the walk back when the light is gone.

The boater was a gift from the wind. I am holding it so it does not leave.
