still counting waves busy sky
fulmars smash centre fly free cross-
leaved spray jagged common razor-wing gull
sandpiper summer's only home
spring promising
harbours touched portals redshank
still-backed golden knapweed wrack heather
down stream squill godwit dawn
Again the beach waveburst wave after tremor
mercury lustre still cool head to sun rise
but she haunts shuffles spirals
fine cotton shadow children
glide everywhere
Move here alluvial pullover foxglove
clover trunkback heron canal
picking chickens fields fawning
calves leatherette roll over
all over now

Going Mobile
I'm up in the air
and across the aisle this lad is texting
and I'm wishing I had a smart phone
or something like that
something that'll go online
I don't really know a lot about it
but I'd like to log in and send you a message
or email you
check up on how you're doing
maybe even upload a photo from the plane.
I like staying in touch
[even though I'm a miserable misanthrope.]
