as a peace offering
I carry the ancient crab
and set it down
next to my daughter
without a word…
on the rocks
intact …
but lifeless

by the ocean
again filled
with emptiness
the thick fog

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…

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

fragile beauty
in the woods
a moment
the koan

take out-
a cardinal with a worm
flies away
a cardinal
engaged with a worm
briefly…
done with the worm
taking quick note of me
and flying away
