Pacific Pummeling Blue muscles bulge. An entire ocean lifts, flexes wave after wave from submerged granite bones. An aroused Pacific leads with its right, pounds foamy cuts in a sandy point's brow. Roundhouse breakers shatter volcanic cliffs, punches cocky boulders into convulsing surf. Elkhorn Exodus Gangs of jittery shorebirds scatter and wheel.
Pale herons patrol shiny mud, pace a pickle weed beat.
I crouch beneath petrified fennel, silvery limbs of past sensuality, dried up and gone. Mars canals carve an emptying estuary. Canada geese, tired of wandering, fill scattered ponds. I rest upon a weathered fence rail, contemplate misty horizons, listen to the mournful pariah who circles and cries from dark clouds overhead. Trails spiral through greasewood, milky nettles, paths of bruised sage.
