An Early Walk

Pearl edged bluffs hint at a recalcitrant sun
the only stars here, purple and ochre
isolated on rocks while the tide retreats

but a lingering moon offers a race,
its wet-sand ghost,
matching my widening stride

motion and stasis… fluid and motion
straining against the eventual, defeated by minutes
we agree to a draw

The moon has commitments, other horizons.
I just want to have breakfast with my wife.

To:  Andrei, peaceful warrior

Stars pierce the branches

of this old tree above me

Here,    Now,   this  Moment.

Sea lions somewhere

bark complaints into the night
Here,   Now,   I   am  Content.
