Carolina Summer – v2

A cord of ten brown pelicans
a ribbon above the waves,
in the space before horizon-line
snaked through the hot air
cutting the shimmering heat
almost kissing the skin of the ocean
just off my stretch of sand
my piece of solitude,
under the palmetto,
in the edge of the dunes,
reading my summer-books,
off the barrier island
that Carolina summer
almost twenty-five years ago
