From a Hill in a Dream of Waves




Calmed by morning

Sunlight in the volunteers

Silled in a pottery

Shaped by loving hands.


Yes I miss the sea.


Calmed by simple things

On this gentle inland hill

A wooden spoon

A butternut shell.


I hear the surf

Its running sighs

The gulls.


Calmed enough

In this green wind

On paths I mow

To only say the truth.


I think of you

More than I should

Less than I did

Ebbing tide with trees.
