Seaside, OR

By Caroline Liberatore

A stranger made himself a home
by the sea and sang a serenade
of harmonic breath, meekly rendered
through a child's instrument.

The gulls, mesmerized, enveloped
the friend and his melody.
Or perhaps, were themselves
folding and unfolding in ecstasy.

Such is the rare bliss of wordless
sermons. That humble refrain,
a mere sidewalk jingle, raptured
their wings and carried them home.

Caroline Liberatore is a poet from Cleveland, Ohio. She has also been published in Ekstasis Magazine and Ashbelt Journal.
