A Sunny Day on the
Bay
the sun
sparkles       across the bay                    fireflies on the blue
a gentle breeze
  moves the garden chimes          the gulls cry aloud  
i see them                they
see me                         they swoop    
to grab another
piece of fish         i offer        they believe i will always be here
standing on the
ramp      holding the pieces of fish high up           i call to them
like drones                they
turn                              make their way to me
others join                their
need and mine match   i chop up the fish
and hike to the
pier      their belief is not law        for i am already gone
you are gone too         my
home in the desert        no longer by the bay
i wonder                      i
remember them                do they remember me

Nice to spend a sunny day like that
Have a good week
Much love...
This took me back to the old general store I once owned, in the 70's on the ocean. We had a seagull called Charlie who came every mealtime to sit on a crate outside and wait for table scraps. After the store burned down, I wondered what happened to him. No more free meals.
