FOR ELANDRA: THE 37-YEAR PARTNERSHIP
A Poem by Alice B. Clagett
May 2017
This account is entirely fictional.
Sometimes
all that’s needed is
a word
Alack!
Tides rise
and fall
Ebb amble
Crabs
hang out
languidly
Sea slug
mopes
Gulls
sling fish
sideways
down the hatch
Was it last spring?
Rip tide
A surf class kid
bit the brine
The paramedic
had a heart attack
I said
so long
