Autumn Leaves volume 7 number 6 |
| sea swells on sand dunes lover's kiss, children's laughter reading poetry |
| lying on the sand among ripe bayberry fruit Venus shining down |
| against the dark sky across dark stones, waves, ocean the lighthouse shadow |
| a flock of seagulls circling the pounding sea waves lone gull falling to sand |
| waves in the ship's wake the mountain moving backward blurring through my tears |
| rays of streaming light heat bouncing off ocean waves feet on burning sand |
| we walked on the shore through the grey April snow melting seagull tracks |
| naked on the dunes between sea beats and heart beats sun on warm bodies |
| The gull turns his head and curves his white wings, plunging; the small fish diving |
| Sand and bayberries all summer. The pounding surf. The taste of your salt. |
| The warm sea water washes across bare brown legs awakens dreams |
