On the shores of Corfu from Brindisi we drank ouzo and got rooms at the pink palace the beach rooms past cheap
On isla mujeres my hammock only yards away from coconut trees and waters only matched by Corfu
The Oaxaca ocean fierce we nude sunbathed as tides pulled less prudent swimmers out in undertow
Toward Maui the black rock pebbles sorting babies out into grains of the darkest glittering sand
The pockets get heavy
Collecting, keeping these treasures
The California ocean beaches so varied
Up and down every inch we drove and swam
The Oregon rivers great and smaller lending ocean what exchanges sun and moon require
Waves burst out of volcanic formations we'd teeter around risking it all
The placid beaches so many vacations play sand frisbee and unicorn horn sweet
The coasts of Washington with driftwood blocking even mountains collapse into surf, logs thick ancient entwined with one another
Leaping off cliffs 40 feet plunge north of Seattle
around the San Juans by ferry another fine stone collecting endeavor and food with gone friends
Swimming there in Isla mujeres with snorkel the fish one only sees in magazines or television stupor
Monterrey, San Clemente, Mendocino, Carmel, Point Reyes
The waters around long island
It was awhile back even further back on a summer drive to the Smithsonian we ate crabs using mallets
In Galveston the jelly fish stings
A different same ocean all around
The wharves in Newport with fat seals hogging the dock belching for cameras
Ireland ocean Rosslare the English channel via hovercraft
Same thing all around
SE Portland
Landlocked
