The Water

The ocean reminds me of

my grandfather.

I didn't know him well;

my fondest memory

scattering his ashes

and rose pedals

across the Pacific.

He lived in Santa Cruz,

I lived in Jersey.

Opposite coasts carrying

the same water

the same spirits

so I look out at the sea

and see his hand wave in the ripples.
