The Light in Carol's Kitchen - Page 6

South Bay Saturday (for CtM)

Bodies in Motion

Bike path peddlers
Power walkers Volleyball spikers
Strollers in sandals
Babies in strollers
Skateboarding sidewalk surfers Motorized mini-scooters
Leg-pumping swing-set riders Swarms of strand shufflers

Leggy babes dancing with in-line skates
Surf camp tourists doing deep-knee squats
Joggers with headphones in loose-fitting tank tops
Hang gliders soar over the sand dunes
Biplane pilots pulling TV ad banners over the ocean
Sailboat crews tacking up-channel to the sea
Underbellies of big jet-age birds flying overhead
A moon-walking, break-dancing legless man with a boom box
Sunglasses talking to cell phones

'The man in the car'
Cops in beach cruisers with windows rolled up
Jet skis bouncing on wind-chopped seas
Pelicans co-mingle on a harbor rock jetty
Pelicans flying and gliding inches above the sea

Bodies in motion, stay in motion
By the oceanBodies at Rest

My mother, Carol, sleeps the eternal rest Lying so still, next to the man she loves Bodies at rest
Stay at rest
Amen

The light in Carol’s kitchen
La lumière dans la cuisine de Carol

There is light in my mother's kitchen
il y a de la lumière dans la cuisine de ma mère
