Carlsbad State Park Beach

Waves panting
Whispers of Foam shoreward
from South Sea’s farthest Neighbor

Clouds playing Tag
from Checkers to Backgammon Boards

Pelican Formations gliding
nigh Ocean’s Chest

Eyes and Ears under Beach Umbrellas
their Reflections ensnar’d
by this invisible Message in a Bottle

Darkness Speaks

this morning

the sunrise warm’d my skin

my feet and hands puddl’d along the shore
o’er the last breath of each wave

my fingers tast’d of salt

the fragrance of the sea and barbecues

the melodia of seagulls and swimmers

such was Today’s shape of my perpetual night
that only a Blind Woman like myself
can digest

and be uplift’d
to a smile

Tapestry Way

sauntering
th’ early evening

I am arous’d
by the beams
of sand
and sea
and sky

wishing
ere the sun sleeps
this moment
for the world

Runway

spindrifter

Mr. Sun
still rubbing sand
from his eyes
imparting gray
to the seascape

his yawn
churning froth
across charging swells

a dare
against th’ impudence
of uncaring loneliness

a smile
in defeat or victory

a rematch
certainly more
even beyond Mr. Sun’s
undressing gray for blue
