Once.

to waste

be wild with drink,

the rakish talk, the struts

into the bar, the scorns

I turn to fights, till one by one

they fall

Stranded.

beach fizzed

with slapping waves,

the sea-weed smells, the yells

inside the wind, the crowd

in gathered boats, the fight to save

all whales

Autumns.

come with

fallen gold leaves,

the hearty soups, the greys

that stretch to days, the smells

walks bring in rain, the dews that shine

silk webs

Picnic.

full sun

on glass top lake,

the laddered Pines, her hand

behind the boat, the lunch

spread on damp grass, the wine we drink

still cool
