THE END and The End

Morning sun strikes
         deep inside my eye.
I awaken to scratch,
         and the heat within
another night,
         having passed,
solidifies this joy.
         I survive
another dream.

There are questions
         which is greater joy

where pelicans form
         a homeward line
toward that lascivious fog
         groping Pedro Point,

or late afternoon whitecaps
         painted by Parrish
on a sea as green
         as your eyes.

My chest swells
         beyond capacity of breath.
