proof


a coat went down to the ocean
covering a body that was busy dipping a dress
in the left coast brine
before taking it further east
to play with it some more

the body was accompanied by her favourite photographer
otherwise
the only record of the day
would be in a slide-show for one in her head
or
a few prints on the beach
and
they don't usually last

  1. I hope that coat lasts as long as you need it.

  2. i will try and keep it out of bushfires
    and
    mend when necessary
    it's beginning to be a memory repository already
    which makes it kinda precious

  6. Awe-inspiring, as usual, India. Where are you on the Left Coast? I'm here, too, but likely quite a bit farther north. Enjoy your journey.
