Coastal Shakes

A collage poem¹

Beachside belle Coral Fern—
hidden seaside Hamlet—
hero!

Embrace adventure—
venture beyond adventure—
and let us know
different places to sniff,
wild with pleasure,
atop a ridgeline,
feeling fit and free
in equal measure.

Meet ocean.
Experience rock calling ‘What do you think?’
Gems and baths and
secret mating.
