goofy foot kid

goofy foot kid
another summer has come and gone
there's a shadow never touched
by wind or sun beneath the seas
and rising tide with full moon has bequeathed
as lovers spread open on sandy beach
waiting
in vane
waiting to shoot
like all those before in the lane
for a fifty years or more,
warm vowels so fragile and tragic
slip back to those waves
shooting the waves
waves roll endlessly
crashing my star
destiny of the sea
my therapy
my ecstasy
though flowers wither
as life goes on
still laughing
even when you died
nothing at all is left behind
