Nonstick Notions

Two small shrimpers, aging yet able,

Secured for repairs toward the end of the dock,

Spark brief fancies of high sea daring do

In passerby who’ll never try to depart.

Morning Respite on the San Sebastian River

Returned from their night run

With outriggers high,

The catch unloaded,

And their crews scattered wide,

Shrimp boats rest easy,

Mirrored in the still waters.

Aficionada at Georgie’s Diner in the Time of Plague

She arrives deliberately early,

Predawn darkness, doors now unlocking.

Social-distancing conscious

And middle-counter blocking,

She studies the specials,

Her eyes slow-list descending;

Hidden under her breath, tasteful recitations

Savoring intimations

Of the more fulfilling respites.

Holy Night in St Augustine

Sailboat swings in midnight’s breeze,

Rocking the crew below to sleep.

Waterfront buildings light the quay

As eve gives way to Christmas day.

Fresh Start

The sun rises over the Matanzas Inlet,

Washing the facades of the waterfront shops

And stirring the family asleep below deck.

First gift of a good morning.

Mind Design

The weathered window is shuttered

And the potted plants untended.

Still, that unknown and unseen within

Conjures an awe-full image.

Morning at Castillo de San Marcos

The paths by the sea are quiet this early in the day

As the sun rises over the Matanzas Bay Inlet,

Gifting golden rays to the eastern walls and trees.

Motus Interpellata

Building cloud cover above

And rumored rip current below

Infect each new resolution

With nebulous-consequence unease

Anticipation at Salt Run





Sailing skiffs, resting now too far aground,

Rely on the promise of an incoming tide,

While water joins sky in flushed expectation

Of sun’s regal rise o’er the eastern dunes.
