Bayou Blues

                                      by John Thompson, California
                                          & Renée Owen, California



                                         a gentle breeze
                                         fallen blossoms skim
                                         flooded graves

                                         in a locked shipyard
                                         halyards creak

                                         the wintry wind
                                         whistles through a knothole—
                                         more layoffs

                                         hurricane squatters
                                         the sea takes back
                                         the seawall

                                         fine grained sand swirls
                                         around a beached whale

                                         gulf spill
                                         lightning chases night
                                         from the oily shore
