1974 (me)
How am I to understand
the connection I have with gulls,
birds sailing on ocean breath,
without understanding the love
of the seventh decade
mid decade
when I was born
what hit the marquees
or the paperback bookshelves
jonathan livingston seagull
and I still miss them when they call
to me
lost in the parking lots
or over the channels of the james
by ferry
past where the sails finally fell exhausted
from their pilgrimage
