Inner Coastal

Currituck County, North Carolina


Facing the sea with the mountains in me

a few words on a page are the most I can do

when the hills and the coast

are the me and the you

with the wind off the sea

and the wind in bare trees

with birds in a line

sailing over the waves

and birds in a wave

rising up from the fields

their calls on the gale are the calls of the sea

the calls of the surf are the wind in the trees

the calls of the heart on the November coast

are the spill of the waves

in our tossing horizons

a little of me

a little of you

a few birds in the air

a few words on the page

are the most I can do.
