…coastal poesy #54




...my battered birkie


…here, at my feet, foam from the surf collects with the seaweed and blows across  the beach in the gentle breeze like a serpent's beard… I gather the fluff in the cup of my hand and gaze into a globule of air, reflecting a world within a world… I burst the bubble with my finger, and the world I saw a moment ago  explodes… but I behold it still in my mind's eye, a vivid image of what once was, and so it's as real to me now as it was before…
