Pipers

By Connie Conway


On the outer rim
things rush in:
birds

 

pull the receding
surf, peck foam and sand,
mine the salt suds for life.

 

In winter I stay
for these sea things.

 

Inland, life loses the blue light
and a tideless cold
prevails.

 

Here, I sink
       into the roar of ocean,

 

feel the rasp of scalloped art,
hear the piping of small
triumphs, found.
