‘REMODELING’
for the coming
season.

Sporadic joggers clop
on by
and the occasional
bicyclist rolls
past.

The sky is overcast
and the wind chill
makes fifty degrees
feel like
thirty.

The beach is desolate,
cleared
of the ocean’s
winter refuse.

The sand is virgin
of foot prints,
marked
only by endless
lines of wind
sculptured ripples,
running
perpendicular
to the waters
edge.

The waves don’t break,
they roll gently
and kiss
the shore.

Seagulls hover
and land
only on
the jetty rocks.

And I sit
on the bench,
sipping coffee,
thinking
about the poem
I haven’t written,
yet.
