Two birds float in the channel
as wind lifts the water like corduroy;
behind his weathered face
the bay stretches to distant islands,
the sea his home for many years.

The problems with being a man don’t change,
but within the fold of this larger setting,
where air and sea and sun still breathe,
the broader fetch invites him:
live on, live on!

  2. Hi.
    This poem harkens back to the tone of your work when Martin was with us…surging forward.
    I am moved by the humble grandeur.

    I’m pleased to be included in this mailing of yours….

    Your Old Pal, Josanne
