Still he can hear her breath
at night in his heart meets her
in his dreams rambling along
clifftop paths sandals in hand
bare feet brown on the dusty road
wandering aimlessly sunflower
face slanted toward golden light
sometimes whistling or humming
songs that once upon a time
had enthralled her grandparents
Blue skies
Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies
Do I see
a curve of beach spread out below
like a picnic gray sand smooth
as ice pale and dry unmarred
by tourists’ trash and trampling
eternal pristine still he can see
