September Beach: Before Autumn
The sky overcast with shadowed gray
Hushed as dusk approaches
Surf reflects the constancies
of sky and sand and me
The pelicans form long silky lines
Surfing the sheer of waves
Their dark grace contrasting with
the pewter foam and sea
Winking the jade-green serpentine
Into the lift and trough
As keen-eyed pelicans fish
the late September beach
