Beach waves
all of the baby’s giggles
inside mother’s arms.

Ashes on the surf …
she writes his last word
into the sand.

To join them
swimming past safety
to the gentle rolling waves.

Opening
this common scallop …
such Art in its shell.

Divine along the beach
incomprehensible
among the stars.

First light
swallowed in the sea fog
the waves beyond.

On the back
of the stranded whale
a crescent moon.

Soldier crabs
here in scribbles
on the wet sand.

The summer brings me …
sprinkling father
on our horse-shoe bay.
