The Wind Picks

John Grey

Along the shore, sunset like
a cherry drink through a glass,
drawn out until it loses all content,
is thin as wind that flutters, twists,
almost braids, a young girl’s brown hair.
Broken sea grass fences sway.
On a rooftop, a tin chicken spins.
And surf gyrates like a huge belly dancer.
People hike the esplanade,
squeeze sun hats tight to heads.
Even passing cars feel the tug of willful air.
White, gray, brown shapes drop to the sand,
sea birds giving up the fight of flight.
