Well Kept


turquoise water
     licks at sugar
             spilled from a canister
                     on the beach floor
                          sand pipers run
                      aimlessly
              back and forth
       to the edge
constantly sweeping

"no darkness has ever been deep enough to extinguish my personal knowledge of love"  Anne Rice

I do love the beach and you brought a bit of it to me before I sleep.

Thank you.

What irritates me
is your inability
to accept that it’s over

Still
I read you

Only God knows
Why
