a sea swimmer’s winter

a sea swimmer’s winter


darker seas upon these darker days

although the light is lighting greater

the salt same spray is drying whiter

and greater is the whitening breaker

rectitude decries along a lonely ray of

sun from the east across this stormy bay

as the boy walks seawards to claim his swim

at 74 it is but just his whim to declaim

lonesome in imagination’s longevity

each time he dives beneath the sea

and surfacing he is born anew and anew

much lighter he sees this darker hue

and whistling off home his coffee waits

simple the moral is you see 

never be an old age sofa softee
