Book three of impromptu trilogy.

  Journal of Grace and Foam


Opus of afternoon; grace of the avocet—ancillary
expressionists; grace of wavelets and small, black stones.

Light on a water; post-light turning to shine; the shine,
the light finding the edge or moving quickly through.

Young men peel wetsuits off between parked cars;
the pageant of surf curl and dogs; the opuses

of kelp—graces of the long afternoon; the strength of
unbested manifestation; opus in A minor, 132.

Pageants of casual examination, the long look, the dead
left on shore; the congealing concentration.  Journal

of wet hair dripping from the naval; shrill
of the avocet; ancillary tide; the old grace of foam.
