Along The Shore

ageing man with poet's mop of gray hair and trusty walking stick

trudges through sand

 

halts

 

leans on his stick

observes an old woman

of shriveled body and hanging skin

she's stretched out on a giant towel

trying to get a tan

 

he wonders can he make a sonnet out of this sight

 

he treks on

stoops to pick up a conch shell at his feet

peers intently at it

turns it clock and counter

holds it to his ear

 

hears the destiny of every thing

humming through the brittle pink alleys
