Solo

Solo
Oxnard Shores, Calif.

Up so high
all alone
soaring above
wings a lite
cool summer breeze
tickles your feathers
and go and go and go
soaring weightless, worryless
drifting
solo.




Solo.

Shores

Oxnard Shores
Oxnard, Calif.
July 2010




From Pitas' rocky point to C Street
where the Chumash used to play
And old lady Rincon
bathed in a dewey robe of gray.

South swell on the morrow.
When the winter sun is on the rise
there'll be corduroy to the horizon
dancing before our eyes.




Watching the surf roll in, I turned around and snapped this.

Sous un ciel ensoleillé, une famille fait un piquenique dans un parc. Des jeunes amoureux boivent du vin dans l'ombre de la Tour Eiffel. Des artistes, bérets sur la tête, travaillent à leurs peintures. C'est Paris sans doute, n'est-ce pas?

Mais non! En realité, c'est la Fête Française de Santa Barbara.
