A sandpiper plucked a dead jellyfish the size of a garbage pail lid.<\/p>\n
Thousands of dead jellyfish turned the beach into a translucent moonscape. <\/p>\n
I clutched a limpet in one hand and beaverwood in the other.<\/p>\n
The river swirled green, blue and white. <\/p>\n
A gillnetter fished for fake fish. <\/p>\n
Sea lions roared from the buoy. <\/p>\n
I walked to the Jetty in a slight sunlight after three inches of rain.<\/p>\n
The pea coat was on for the first time this season. It begins its 21st year. <\/p>\n
I passed an empty half pint of vodka wrapped in dead kelp
\nand a vaping device.<\/p>\n
Gulls were around. <\/p>\n
I emptied my mind and meandered, looking for treasures. <\/p>\n
My mind filled up again with thoughts of an estranged friend. We have walked so many beaches together. If only we could walk together again, and talk. <\/p>\n
