In Another Time

Yachts 
newly returned to use
after their winter sojourn
line up in the sand 
paying homage to the Mecca of storms

A seagull 
hanging on an angel’s breath 
sees further than us all 
dives like a fallen angel 
in search of worldly pleasures 

There’s a half moon still in the sky
pale as a cloud 
almost transparent
trapped somewhere between the two worlds
of night and day

Long shadows on the beach 
creep like sharp fingers across the cold sand
Spring feels like winter
or winter feels like spring
on this new morning
