The smell of fennel--
bees walk on yellow flowers,
smelling ocean air.
----
Weeds and flowers,
wild fennel and iceplant--
occasional butterflies.
----
Gulls cry a lot.
Summer's last hurrah--
Maybe they're hot.
----
Peaceful walk--
except for the pebble
in my shoe.
----
The ocean's edge
smells of weed and pee.
People sure fuck things up.
----
Shimmering sea,
Indian Summer sun beats down--
a grebe floats alone.
