seagulls

January 7, 2022 by Michael Guerin

each step along the boardwalk
sends a flurry of seagulls
skyward.

to my right the angry gulf
thunders against a rocky
shore.

on my left all parking spaces
have been abandoned since
the fall.

a stinging wind cuts through
my clothes and chills me
to the bone.

each step along the boardwalk
takes me further from my
home.
