torn stained and sticky

 "The coldest winter I ever spent was a springtime in Southern California..."

right now

the only thing we have

is a cold and windy May day

the surf 

if there is any

has been merrily 

blown to ribbons

by a south wind just after dawn.

It would still be fun on a mat.

But I won't be surfing

I will sit here

finish this cup of coffee

and listen to the birds

in doing so

connecting with 

my place in

the universal flow

the rounded edges

torn stained and sweet
