fan spinning in lazy circles we talk of faith	the wind blows smoke in my eyes we walk past the transient	two weeks after vacation a seashell at the bottom of my purse	delicately, I transfer the worn photo into my spring purse

the loon’s cry breaking the morning’s silence	ocean calm kayaking with the manatee	windows open at the kitchen sink scalping strawberries	black gloves clutch a cold hot dog opening day

dad's classic rock hushed— dispatched fire engines	docking off the Maine coast fresh caught lobster for the crew	home from the funeral the living room a flower garden	hands in the pockets of an oversized sports jacket she tells me about her dad
