earth note 26

bahia honda beach, florida keys

pelicans glide just above the water
four beaks in a string
capture
a silent nod in passing
cloudy filter sunrise
purple orange
a pair of turkey buzzards stand on the beach
content
not moving
deep green waves blend
with blue coral patchwork
infinite destinies
striking an arrow straight to shore
up the trunk of a split-open palm tree
flying ants dive for cover
the wind and highway speak foreign tongues
unable to communicate or answer each other's
questions
a thousand grains of sand
rise
blow across my paper
