ambivalence

I’ve come to sitting here
watching wave after wave
land itself

washing back and forth
on the beach

the farther away it gets
the more magical it becomes,
those times at night
in the back seat,
my parents taking us someplace....
 
 under the pine another creation  yin yang

under the pine
another creation
yin yang
