At a café
1. At a café – Barceloneta
As wavesmove ona tidal swell
I lookaside andfindme well -
A ripple moveswithinandstill
A surge of powerinlatentstrength

It leavesnodoubtinfire ,in mind
An awesome presence , undefined.
But scatteredblossomsfallingdown
Are driftedbythe coffee cups
Andlandingonmy eggand chips
In dappledsunshine,andabreeze
