Mid-November.

 
 
 
 
And after the rain, the echo
of what fell.

 Quiet Sunday. Not even a radio
on low volume. I sit in the dragon chair
 
and stare across the dripping trees
and wet rooftops, across Piper's Lagoon
 
and the grandfathered shacks
on the islands, forlorn
 
without summer guests.
Water pushing east, kicking
 
up against rocks
that fool me again.
 
Not whales. Not even seals.
So much to learn
about the sea.
