the tampa retreat

my snow bird friend
departs

in november for tampa.

to his house along
the bay.

to his small boat, his fishing
rods,
his cold beer,
his lazy

winter day
under a warming sun.

a youth filled breeze
blows 
through his hemmingway
beard.
he'll ride his bike into town.

he'll play
a round
of golf, he'll watch the young
girls go by
in their

summer dresses,

as he watches the sun
go down.
