the last petals drop from the branches
a loon shrills through the fog
I watch people emerge from the damp
quiet with the intense fear of being alive
as the petals drape their shoulders
and the holy mist swaddles their forms
hunching through the blowing spray
on this gray beach on the edge of the stable sea
