Poem Category: Beach

Deserted beach
the dawn all around it
nothing else.

Laurel calls
the beach wind
across my name.

Empty beach
the dead cat cleaned
by crab claws.

A car space found
our beach towels breathing
last season’s scent.

Loneliness …
sprinkling the quiet surf
with father’s ashes.

Sand dunes
all day bending – – unbending
the Spinifex reeds.

Ashes on the surf …
she writes his last word
into the sand.

Beach waves
all of the baby’s giggles
inside mother’s arms.

In whale songs
the young after their elders
stranded on shore.

Sunset beach
no children left
to guard their sand castles.
