summer’s final throes
heat weakened by beach breezes
sunbather shivers

brown seagull on beach
crying, head thrown back to sky
retelling sorrow

Alone
ship returns from sea
bringing his still body home
she waits on the beach
Unlit lantern
eyes shielded from glare
unlit lantern brought from home
patiently waiting

late summer beach day
heat, sun, blue skies give no hint
hurricane coming

early spring sun sets
along the uneven boardwalk
evening ocean beckons

sitting by the shore
watching a spirited gull
ardently hunt crabs

On the low~tide beach
Everything we stoop to pick…
Moves in our fingers
