Bikinis undulated, underwater pennants marking high points in Lachie's life. Pink crocheted triangles, stiff with salt water, unknotted with fumbling fingers his first time. Sporty Lycra, cupping surf carnival competitors' taut buttocks. Sequinned strings, slinking from the glittering loins of tired-eyed strippers at his brother's buck's night. Today, his girlfriend Em wore a shimmering cobalt bikini, the colour of the flash on a kookaburra's wing (from Free-Diving by Morgana MacLeod).
