accidental abstractions, the
towels piled one upon
another,
catalogue colors--
rose pink, marine blue,
loden green,
sunset layers confined
to the linen closet
this final confinement, and
release, to the rain spotting
the pavement, splotching wet,
a study in contrasts
freshwater--rain--so unlike the
seasalt kissed from your
cheek
on this curving stretch of
sand, sand she later
shakes from her shoes,
heels clattering on the
aluminum, smoothing
damp curls back into
tortoise clips
