at the estuary

Tom Pickard

July 30, 2015

sandlings dig bait, tailgate the first ripple of a returning tide

a mercury whisper of tipped-in light rushed in, in front of itself;

swirls of wrung-out rags, scrow clouds scuffed a-height,

wind-driven wind-riven waves, belly flop on rock

what the heart loves loves not the heart
