25 Weeks Ago

Fresh seaweed dots
the tide, the rocks, the sand.
Gulls' feet imprint all. --------------

Bird sanctuary--
sandpipers feed undisturbed--
muddy, squishy sand.

From 3 Years Ago

It feels like
slogging through muddy swamps
wondering if they're quicksand.

Tall, white crane

Tall, white crane; long, brown
reeds muddy the blue water--
Unseeing cars pass.
