Quiet corner
Gravelly throat of river
Intimate audience
Gulls, cormorants 
Bathers bake 

Swish of waves syncopate
Gently touching
Fronds of iridescent 
Sea grass vagrants
Soaking in sun 
Lament time is done

Rock pools sip sea 
Shimmy on gentle
Puff on breeze
One eyed Jim 
Sails up river
Engine thrum
Echoes and undertones
Bass beat drum

Low tide blues
Turquoise and aqua 
Clear lucid pools
Toddler fish train
For open water
One day soon
