At sunrise, at
sunset
in the time of the night,
the infinite darkness
Land and Sea and Sky
a bleeding of the margins together…

the infinite darkness

email May 115, 2008
“I am in eighth grade and I am doing a school
research project called a zine. In this zine,
it is basically about describing your passion.
One of the requirements for the zine is putting
a poem in, and explaining your reaction to the poem.
My passion is Cape Cod, and I chose the poem you wrote,
Beach Sand, I love how you described sand in this poem.
I just had a few questions like,
why did you choose to write this poem?
My response May 16, 2008::
“Funny you should ask. Someone from North Carolina
two days ago asked if they could put this same poem
on a new web site. As I told them, I had written in in 2006,
on the same day as quite a few other poems. I was writing
then specifically about treasured memories of my childhood
and more recent too. I wrote this poem about my joy at the beach.
I am from Westfield, MA growing up and my family would go to
the Cape or up the Maine coast to like Wells Beach or York
many summers when I was a kid. My grandparents on my dad's
side had gone to Old Orchard Beach for summers when my dad
was a kid and they were there on Cape Cod when I was a kid.
In 1988 I went to Hilton Head Island for a week. And in the
mid-1990's I went for like 3 or 4 summers in a row to
Martha's Vineyard. From 1978 to 2001, I lived near
the University of New Hampshire near the seacoast of
New Hampshire. I spent time at Rye Beach, Hampton,
and Great Island Common in New Castle. I just really like
walking the beach, more than just laying sunbathing.
I would walk along the shore looking for beach glass
or go over to the rocks and look for what I could find
in the tide pools. I've included three other poems about
being near the sea, Shoals, Tide Pools, and Tides - Haiku.”
