Pelican Play

This evening as my friend Trish and I watched from a bench on the bluffs overlooking the ocean

A lone surfer bobbed on the waves and caught a few short, sweet rides

A line of brown pelicans flew south over our heads like flowing silk

Dogs sniffed our feet as they passed by

A small blind dog licked Trish’s hand

And then out of the south, the curving line of pelicans swooped back north, turned out to the ocean, dipped down, flying as close to the water as they could, like they were surfing, and followed the line of the waves as far as the eye could see
