Glint
by g. emil
reutter
We pass through
the eye at
Holgate as
Atlantic winds push
back, Wooden Jetty
beach to the
left, Forsythe
Refuge to the right.
Quiet roar of
broken waves on beach
silent violence of
undertow drains
powerfully pushing
under white caps
under surfers,
under boats to whence
it came. She
paints seashells with marker
handing out as
souvenirs to beachgoers
departing.
Just north of her
is a photographer
capturing image
after image of the horizon
of breakers of the
jetty when she hears
singing to the
south of her, points her
camera and zooms
in only to see nothing.
Sirens sing as a
boat crosses Little Egg
Harbor Inlet, crew
ignores the breathless
sounds, passes
through as watery admirers
look upward
lustfully through sun glint.
