Shorebirds
all the days of sea and sand
must surely curl away
relentless as the ebb
and flow of tides
as shorebirds hunt and peck
in sand and grit their lives away
other birds have made themselves
at home next to the crystal shore
their offspring pink
and warbling in the sun
young females preen their plumage
scrawny males hover in lust
later on the clouds come open
and all the shorebirds
damp and shivering
huddle under the eaves
fragrant with salty spray
teasing the senses
as the shorebirds
shimmer in the gloom
under boardwalks of dusk
and ice cream nights
