ebb of the day
washing back and forth
on the beach
each being
on the threshold
of a dream…

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

this heart to heart
only to find
the mire of old territory
that no amount of revisiting
will ever resolve…
it had not looked
like much but suddenly
the fire of the sunset sky
flares…

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…
