Meden Agan

I love metaphors,
can’t think without them. By think
I mean this lolling

about on a bench
by the bay. Nothing too much.
I come down here as

it cools off, somewhere
between the fullness of my
life and the great be-

yond. I watch the gulls
lift and glide over the bay
as the sun goes down.
