November 22: Stone heart

Beach-combing for hearts--
when picked up and pocketed
some become just stones.

September 5: Raccoon Beach

as if etched with runes

beach stones with cool striations--

ocean's ancient spells

September 3: Beach stones

sea worn stones underfoot

striped ones bring luck

but I keep the heart-shaped one

August 21: Sermons in stones

"And this our life, exempt from public haunt, finds... sermons in stones, and good in everything. I would not change it." --William Shakespeare, in As You Like It

Sea-stones tell their stories--

the main character is time,

waves drive the plot.

August 17: Lucia Beach

Girls hum to snails.
I look for a heart,
find a pocketful of moons.

August 30: Shorebirds

Birded this morning at Lubec Flats, looking for shorebirds on the exposed beach at low tide.

 

Sandpipers panic

as the falcon sweeps past.

Heart-shaped beach stone.

August 28: Jasper Beach

Jasper Beach--

running down heaps of stones

sea-worn, a kid again.

Now I cast a long shadow.
