Dark birds float on flat water, Hardly recognized as the ocean today. It is deep blue, rarely breaking, and then Rolling into a gentle slap just before the sand, The way the river used to do to the bulkheads At home, shoving into them playfully. These dark birds—not the usual brown pelicans, Hunt alone or comingle with odd seagulls, The gulls that look prehistoric, gigantic. They glide over the water and spy the right Spot to land and then just sit. No diving, Eating, or scouting except for a place to Float with the rollers just before They nudge the shore. |
