once upon a time
the Flat Iron provided
the very best view…
falling behind my family
to take more photos
flat iron building…
step by step to the side
it flattens

creating a space
in himself
that can’t be filled
– his lengthy ritual
seaside walks
the way
water comes and goes
on the beach

Pushed by the wind
at the far end of the sky
a few clouds…
I can see that what I want
keeps changing too
“I’ve looked at life
from both sides now…

fiery sky, fire, marriage, observing, ocean, photography, relationships, Rhode Island, Roger Wheeler State Beach, sunset, tanka, witness, writing
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…

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…

as I read the log book
mosquitoes drop by
bent over
from the beginning
all these years

the strength
to find a way
each day…
the long night’s
between days
mid town Manhattan-
so many places become home
on the street

this procession
of sunset light
lapping and overlapping itself
I say very little
as the tide goes out
the last light
of the day
slips back to sea…
