panic grass
his head disappearing
beneath the waves
a mourning dove
roosting in a saw palm
Oak Island
sedimentary rock sun sky horizon sea sand
glittering at the tip
of the augur snail
Denebola
why can’t I get it out of my head moon snail
rose hour
the pianissimo
of a flame auger
sotto voce
the wind in the palms
is the wind on the sea
the Atlantic shifts
with the weight of the wind
Zubeneschamali
autodidact
the dunes shaped
by gullsong
