      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      Seascapes - Judith Shepard

      Poem

      THE SEAGULL

      Stubby-footed

      Cropped-ass seagull

      With a squawked voice

      Caught like a burp in his throat

      Perched on a telephone wire

      Beady eyed

      Watching the land.

      Powerful wings

      Lift that ponderous body

      Catch it on each side

      Breathe grace into its turgid frame

      Until it streaks and soars

      Over the potato fields

      Like a purposeful arrow.

      I look for a moment of grace

      When the mind is vaporous

      And cool shafts of air

      Gleam along my body

      Feather tipped

      Climbing and gliding

      To see the earth below

      Shrink into tiny dots and crisscrossed lines.

      The gull watches me curiously

      Eyes riveted

      Matter-of fact appraisal

      And then, lifts himself off again.

      A hard thrusting effort

      Until he finds that flow

      Sending him onward into the sky.

      While I, growing smaller and smaller

      A dot
