Mud Bay, October

Mud Bay, you'll stay as you were
     in our weather eye this day
 dank desolate late october
     heavy drizzle    wind tilts umbrellas

 and cameras sprayed with rain
     high tide featurless unmoved
 such pounding on grass and reeds
     clumps of heavy-headed flowers
 saturated and subdued    like us

 no we didn't shout in confrontation
     nothing dramatic    too busy coping
 by mutual support    tangle of togs and gear
     elements aim breath-taking shots at us

lone great blue heron empties locality
     at our substitution and elects distant post
 marching legs of railroad    trestle dwindling
     like our comfort zone

blown away and had enough
     we seek alleviations of car
 content to be present and in companionable spirits
     when earth and weather conjoin
     treating us to spectacular visitation
