Pacifica Seawall, October

We dropped by your house today

and sat in the new chairs

under the gnarled tree

and spoke of you.

We walked to the wall

that separates ocean

from land, and observed waves

rising, mighty, lunging at rocks

beneath our feet.

We spoke your name

there, to the moaning sea.

Twilight at the Seawall

Dark hills,

glowing sky,

indigo fast fading

to black,

while on the edge of fire

incandescent embers

hurry the wheeling world

round ancient paths.

But see how, 

newly awakened,

the cool moon ascends,

awash in reflected glory,

full and round, 

and lovely.
