On Long Beach Island

for MPW

Finally, this morning the ocean asked
“Come and be my lover”
louder than the herring gulls protest
of a few roadside crumbs,
that fast moving car,
its hungry belly.

But much to my surprise I replied
“Let me sit here listening to the wind
just a little while longer”.
even though I'd loved her
my whole entire life.
