I, Picturesque

Late August surfing at San Clemente

Sea chases blue shadows in sand
from castled shore to ruddying clouds
Setting sun sparkles off parked cars
on a golden eastern hill
Surfers bob like black beach birds
tasting the salt in sweeping curves
Wind catches yellow dream shapes
battling my hair out of my eyes
and a beautiful man shifts his board
looks back once more and smiles.
