Beach Haiku

Written on retreat at the Trinity Center's Pelican House, Sept. 7-10


Wind, sea, together
     a soft measured roar of
          unmastered thanksgiving.











Sun burns the face but
     in water warms the feet, and
          the fire just refines.











Once the clam’s temple,
     today an empty tomb in
          which we are buried.











The pelican dive-
     bombing is Sudden Spirit
          driving to the shell.
