Admission

The wind high along the headland,
mosquitoes keep low: it's
good to be out:
schools of occurring whitecaps
come into the bay,
leap, and dive:
gulls stroll
long strides down the shore wind:
every tree shudders utterance:
motions - sun, water, wind, light -
intersect, merge: here possibly
from the crest of the right moment
one might break away from the final room.
