Fort Walton, Florida Series


 Day 4

consistently, it blows
nor 'easterly, it pushes
sweeping away humidity
vacating the heat,
white sands seldom shift
flapping umbrellas wave
rectangular shades billow
shadows reflect a gentle touch,
greyish blue surrounds
like a cap on a beach head,
ugly waters charge forward
as if on some kind of assault,
darken horizon line seen
tourists without shirts walk
endlessly up and down a 
seemingly endless shoreline,
broken chairs replaced as
futile observations continue,
spring in Florida gains traction
spirits of winter declined
eight-hour trips not uncommon
origins of sickness abandoned
salty pungent odors waffle
through a pleasant atmosphere
memories of last year no more.
