Adelaide B. Shaw

Sea Change

days swell into weeks a tidal surge swamping shores flooding lands spraying mountains day night day the same same same routine wash wash wash hands and do not touch those we know those we love give a wave to friends give a finger to the hidden enemy be strong be brave be a mensch be a man woman child be

spindrift
losing myself in the splash
of poetry shards
