driftwood waves

in the sea and the sun

gulls dipping…diving

dawn gathers

in the green of the trees

eyes open… blink

well water

never able to ebb

with the pull of the moon

dairy drought

milkweed sap

suckling the wind

a floating mist

first light spreads into

the whiteness

a transient moon

the well waters lay darkly

in stillness

first light

the ebb fondling

a wave at a time

well water

our town-folk‘s habit

of dropping a stone

train window

the child‘s face pressed

to her breath again

moonless

back to my childhood

naked in the surf
