A dear friend is gone...

Mick.

Aspergantus.

NoWhereMan.

What a smile,

what a laugh,

what a heart. 

Rest in peace, dear friend.

Beach Pelicans...(originally published 4-28-2009)

skimming over
invisible slidingboards of air,
buoyant as balloons
no strings attached.
glide and slide
no care, so slow any
other would plummet
without flapping.
landing only to
belly-surf and find
lunch in the mullet pack
racing below glassy swells.
