dusk
mission bay
waves break
like heart beats
from the balcony door
curlews
with the ocean at their heels
cry - melancholic - clear
haunting the front yard
with mourning
-full
night
stars silent
witness
dawn
mission bay
waves break
like breath
i stand barefoot
in sand
toes teasing waves
dante's smiling eyes
that sea
the sun is almost rising
above us only clouds
blushing pink
at the joy
they witness
