Gulls
In Homer, the gods
take the place of consciousness.
For me, it is birds.
Gray gulls
seen from above,
a tan and white pigeon
bringing amoral intelligence
to the balcony wall.
Geoff says they are really getting tough on birds
in Garnalle. Bringing in a bylaw.
I remember his balcony
it’s really just the roof of the room downstairs
but when you climb out the window
you get a view of the sea
and the ferris wheel
which I believe is gone, or going
it was an eyesore
all the locals said
though I — of course —
thought it was wonderful
and the burned-down pier
out in the water.
