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

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

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…

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

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
