"surfside" poems
Catch me on the surfside
White shorts tan lines
Sipping bacardi watching guys
Surfing between splitting oceans with clear minds
Sun stirring lights blurring
Body working and still smirking
Cause its late summer and I'm gonna be sat here till midnight
Glasses down, legs out
Living life all mine so
Catch me on the surfside

When the Rescuers Stood Down
Surfside, Florida
As the rescuers stood down last night they left
Their prayers, their desperate hopes, their bitter tears
Upon those troubled rocks where they poured out love
They poured themselves, and they are empty now
What’s left must soon come down:
Concrete and steel, toys and dolls, Mama’s pictures
Letters from friends, ‘phones that won’t ring anymore
Eyeglasses, fountain pens, lesson plans, books
Spare change, unfinished poems, unfinished lives
The rescuers will return, and try again
Because their hearts are in that wreckage still
