Blue Chalk

First five

then three

now one.

October water the color of blue chalk, east wind smooth. 

Can see feet but no further into the blue floor beneath.

Hefty north west swell still, long rights past the north house. 

Head and a half on sets rope-y peels of blue glass.

Warm water gone and duck dives are cold again.

A brown jellyfish with two holes in it's bell drifts in the lineup , we  both wait for a push.
