Grayest May in decades;
yet, pinkish white blossoms on
the blackberry bush.

----

Low tide--
my feet crunch down rocks, shells,
and hermit crab bones.

----

Sign of Spring--
a bumblebee jumps into
a poppy head first.

----

This dreary May--
Sunshine in the form
of dandelions.

----

Star jasmin grows
on the outer walls
of the outhouse.

----

Solitary beach...
I see a pack of men
and turn around.

25 Weeks Ago

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

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