Against the marsh
by Dan Barfield

Willie-boy,...limited
computer access time...
Beautiful day here...
silvery-bright, the ocean
like a silver-blue mirror,
palm trees whispering to the wind.

white
birds standing like virgin brides
against the yellow-green of the
marsh....
been painting hard, doing good work--I think--
still living off
of peas and rice and fish....

crabbing "ain’t worth a
damn!"

....television don’t work anymore
(thank God..No distractions there!)
Still no phone...
doubt I'll get one.....
Joe's doing alright
since he cut off his thumb..
learning to paint without
it

Robert-called-Duncan
...still walking around with his flashlight.....

Latino girls still beautiful,
but untouchable......take
care,old friend....Dan
