Christmas at the Shore
By Charles Pierre
A lone rosebush,
hung with seaweed
and bits of debris
Surrounded by pieces
of frozen driftwood,
stretches and bends
to the sunlight
with one last bud
along a quivering branch
saved from the shadows
that darken the marsh straw.
BUCKY PIZZARELLI and friends and strings: “It’s Easy to Remember.”
Charles and Bucky at their best—-a charming combo.
