EVE AT ROWLEY'S BAY

Weather coming in
across the bay, a mist
tinting the horizon,
as though an artist
were playing
with a new shade of blue.

An empty rowboat
rocks in the waves
waiting for a course
to steer by and I

lie on sun-warmed rocks
waiting for the fox snake
to appear, tempt me
in his serpent whispers
with new possibilities.
