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…

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…

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…

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…

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
