Ocean Pandanus

,
ocean pandanus 2

all her life
she leaned toward sea
pelagic and tidal
she yearned for the deep

and yet she remains
only brine on the breeze
a blackened torn shadow
over sunset stands she

      Thanks Kerstin that means a lot coming from you. It’s nice to be back in Mission for a few days.
