white sheets on the line—
slow-motion clouds
in the summer sky

a gull’s feather
caught on a blade of marsh grass
the sun’s light

low tide in the wind—
marsh grasses bow
to queen Anne’s lace

an old dogwood—
the flowering limbs cast
a crooked shadow

overcast sky—
another pause in the return
of spring

another wet day—
robins on the lawn
drink from puddles

twilight
touching down on the waves
the fog bank

scattered shells
in the pebbly sand—
saving just one
