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…

campsite lean-to…
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

light, ocean, photography, poetry, Rhode Island, Roger Wheeler State Beach, sand, seas, sunset, tanka, tide, waves
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…

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

May, Narragansett, ocean, poetry, Rhode Island, sand, Scarborough State Beach, seas, spring, surf, tanka, tide, waves, writing
as waves come and go
i think over what is good
and bad in my life…
this endless folly
of me being me
the constant
design and redesign
at the tide line

fragile beauty

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
