Churning seawater
Waves whet mineral and grit
Sandy shores invite
Support respite after run
Perspiry horse tail
Modestly brushes wet coat

Morning Sounds
. . . contrabass warble . . .
—not of nature but seems so—
waking life, groaning

Sleep Routine
Don’t try to sleep, but find ways to relax
Try not! Sleep evades effort.
Your skin will crawl, itch, and spark!
Avoid sleep’s spotlight, relentless demand—
also it’s mother, Insomnia!
Each night, at last, draw to rest
despite the circumstance, prepare
Sleep remains a needy thing
whose neglect induces disorder.
