Cape May, N. J.

July 4th 1971

Seagulls

There are no clouds today,

only seagulls,

attacking me with their shadows,

darting down to touch the sea,

being chased by children along

the beach.

I'm in that mood again,

I'm watching the gulls

but I'm thinking about you.

The way you darted into my life

to touch my heart,

but only for a little while,

the way the seagulls

touch the sea.

Tell me,

are there seagulls in your skies now?
