Someone not me sits

Someone, not me, sits in bright but scanty clothing on bleached, sun-kissed sands. What I would give to be there turns out not to be that much.

Tanka is a form of Japanese poetry which translates as "short song." It is 31 syllables and often broken up into five lines of 5/7/5/7/7 syllables.
