Coastal Blues
feisty attitudes freeze freely
along my mental coastline
this day set forth and as
the sun shines on us, we
acknowledge mother fondly
while also wishing her a
speedy recovery from the
forecast impending rain;
deluded travelers are we all
into thinking this day our last
when only further inland should
we ever expect precipitation
especially since our last trip
is this one we have here;
tourist fed pigeons prance
around our campsite as if
we were brought there for
them and stray not do we do
like reaching into pockets to feed
no matter how pretty their feathers;
exhausted are our memories of
all our vacations past this year
when sober was the reality as
to how each day should be lost
once our thoughts anchored
down and with the last
packing of sand we announce
our reluctant departure herein.
