In Style

It’s pouring with rain

He’s got his warm clothes
umbrella and backpack
but most importantly—his skateboard

He’s ready for school

Point Loma

catch a glimpse
one’s eyes
through a break
in the coastal ridgescape

transport the mind
to 16th century
to Juan Cabrillo
soldier explorer

the birth
of European boots
to engrave this western shore

the placenta

of California

Umbrage

bones of a shadow cast

the rind of its caster

eyes away from the light

speaking to other eyes

quietly telling time

View Point

there’s water to stimulate our feet
a large perch to relax our wings
and lots of opportunity for people-watching
