Shoreline Glimmer


The weathered ostinato
feathers through fenestral shadows
under sky, red sunset drinking azure
dry as husk.

The last dusk flaps
its lapidary tapestries
toward

her darkening appetite

Where the wake ripples
a breeze covers shore's low overture,
whispered nectar lapping

its breathy pulse
to evening's crescendo.

The music recalls her touch
near water's glitter, the first light
reflecting

its distant dawn
