The Seagulls follow me, wherever I go.
I see them in parking lots
pecking at the leftover overflow of human consumption.
They follow me to the || jagged edge|| of where land meets sea.
I watch as they dive into the blue unknown.
They offer their wings to take my tired body home
but I am too heavy,
to be carried, away
from this foreign place
where the gulf seaside, engulfs the gulls cries,
and smothers
my own.
-Angela C. Quincey
