Sea Cycle
A man rides his bicycle
on the sea;
salt rubs the tires,
sun reflects on the soles
of his shoes
as he pedals
over starfish
and speckled crabs,
under seagulls
and threaded clouds,
past fishermen
and upright bathers -
until the pier,
where he turns left
and follows the sun down
over the horizon.
