Heathen amidst the roses

28 words

sliver of silver
moon held by apricot  clouds
mid-summer twilight

glide by
crow flies
homeward

from a cobalt sky
seagulls skate the wind and
glide into the sun

Storm at the Beach

The wind sweeps the beach

Pushing seagulls off their paths

And tourists homeward

Gusts surge and explode

Attacking windows and doors

Shrieking, “Let me in!”

Furious tempest

Drives the winter rain sideways

Cold settles in bones

Marigold, La Calendula

Ancient Aztec flower

Lady of the Dead’s beloved

Mark of fragile life

Curer of hiccups

Healer of the lightning-struck

Path to the living

Transitory

Sand, rocks and seaweed

Find temporary home on

Ever shifting shore

Seafoam

Haughty sea gulls hop

Among sparkles of seafoam,

Dying jellyfish
