Jones’ Beach, summer afternoon   

“We were together. I forget the rest.”
Walt Whitman

The seagulls invented
spirals of light
in the sunny afternoon at Jones’Beach.

Gentle, the Atlantic wind
rippled the pearl water.
We have  breathed
the salty tang of the sea
- our eyes lost in  the far horizon.

On the impalpable sand
sudden dreams of happiness
have touched us
slightly.

(To Adel, Mary and Marsha
Long Island - July 27, 2010)
