November's wind today brings winnowing and remembrance.
As does the #poetry of 'Red Tide at Sandy Bend’:
Then the sidewinder—lustral light, sure smoke, white
ash—floats your particles
on waves forever at my knees, the breaking points.

Sewage and field run-off find upwellings in the water column.
Nutrients we flush spread a pantry in the sea.
Who is the host? Who is the guest?
Public service announces No one should get sick
from a day at the beach as half-time ends for Bears at Lions.

Stars of autumn daylight coracle the reservoir—
Birds not milling yet to migrate
overhead—
blue—
The soul begins shrugging off cramped quarters...

3 pencilled commas while editing this morning. Taking this page of #poetry to the keyboard, I typed in 2.
Which 2? You are welcome to the Xtra if you need it somewhere.
