lost kaleidoscope
by John Thompson, (California)
& Chuck Brickley, (California)
shards of colored glass
battered smooth by the waves
a change of heart
pacific sunset
if only I could see you again
half-closed poppies
over inlet and bluff
salt mists drift
to forgive
the unforgiving
a yellow iceplant bloom
purple starfish and teens
splashed by moonlit waves
dawn gleams
amongst the piled driftwood
broken bottles
