Fog

The vacuum cleaner masks the raging sea

The days cleaning awakened in earnest

Guests that pour out into the rain

The b&b landladies expectation

To be blown right off the pier

Take pictures for relation

Ships that pull closer

Over and out

Rain And Sun And Rain And Sun And: Love Of Seedlings In Flight

Gentleman

A change in deportment

Ever so slightly withheld 

A feign to the existential

A well-practiced hand gesture

A gentle slow-roll of the wrist

Waves the ladies on through

Rain And Sun And Rain And Sun And: Love Of Seedlings In Flight

Half-Beat

Slow down, almost to a stop

No please, keep walking

Kick the pebble, with nonchalance

From the tar-macadam pavement

Onto the miserable dried-out grass verge

From the Kindle collection at Amazon 

Rain And Sun And Rain And Sun And: Love Of Seedlings In Flight

Duty Free

Polished tiles bounce the silence

Amplify & amplify again

The still sounds of nothing

Except the smile

Of the small boys excitement

As his father

Shows him the big aeroplanes

Out of Sun

Pebbles picked
Picked & inspected
By the young woman
In azure-blue bikini

Pebbles picked
Picked & inspected
As though all of life itself
Had been washed ashore

Easy to be romantic
Blue sky, gentle waves
Reflected warmth, from
Worn-away sandstone pillars

In the speedboats jet-stream
Hang the plumes of destiny
A race of sorts
From here to there, or thereabouts

One deep and final breath
Beneath the Faberge shade
Negligence would be, would it not
To be unfaithful to beauty & love
