CALIFORNIA QUESTIONING

up here, far above
the cloud topped mountains
what would Basho think
silent majesty crossed
by a plane's shadow

* * * *

oil rigs in the distance
tin foil in the sand
would we give these up
the sea speaks in tongues
the sun has our backs


(Just got back from a brief trip to Santa Barbara, California, checking out a retirement residence in Goleta, which is actually looking like a very possible move for me.)
