Narragansett, nature, ocean, photography, poetry, Rhode Island, sand, Scarborough State Beach, seas, surf, tanka, tide

ambivalence
I believe is what
I’ve come to, sitting here
watching wave after wave
land itself

all across the beach the stranded still life's of the day...

all across the beach
the stranded still life’s
of the day…

Narragansett, nature, ocean, photography, poetry, Rhode Island, sand, Scarborough State Beach, seas, tanka, time, writing

each corner rounded off
in the back and forth
along the tide line…
maybe our pettiness
will ebb away too

beach sand the element of time ground down

beach sand
the element of time
ground down
