how ironic
coming to love
this life and world
and at the same time
letting it all go…
in the eye
of the beholder
wabi sabi

wondering if this is what
my parents felt,
in their own time
seeing a better past slip
ever further behind
knotted
at the docks
my thoughts too…

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

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

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
at Galilee
near dripping

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…
