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
