Friendly Orion
Over my shoulder
Keeps his opinions
To himself
Mercurial reflections
City lights flicker
Along the mirror
Of retreating waves
Spanish music punctuates
Ocean’s whispering sigh
Adding lyrics to
My swaying steps
Palo santo wafts
Along northwest winds
Conversing with my senses
Solo travellers
Are never alone
Kin to every beach bird
Busy hunting crabs
Dotting water’s edge
Spaced evenly apart
Sunset sentinels
Ready for duty
We are the
Night watch
