The Green Sky

The green sky over the water
rising from the depth
beyond the bright horizon
far off to the east

After a night on the dunes
the grasses of the guard towers
the bunkers below us
entombed in concrete

The brilliance of the dawning
the water like the sky
alive with brilliant colors
the dew by our side

Lost in our own thoughts
silent this morning
the laughter of the evening waning
under the green sky dawning

February 7, 2011
a morning at Odiorne State Park
Rye, NH
either 1981 or 1982
