Dreamscape


Keep out! Police officers banned entrance to the beach.


Last night I dreamed of the sea.

Landlocked and housebound, I heard the crash of waves, the shriek of gulls, the whirring sound of unrelenting wind pelting sand at my back, the crunch of shell and stone underfoot.

I sat on a boulder and for the first time in months felt safe.


No swimmers on this fine spring day.

Fuchsia rhododendrons beckon passersby but none in sight.

A single sailboat seems to sit patiently on the tranquil Sakonnet River.

Feeling blue. Blue skies and blue seas.

Clamoring for attention, purple clusters of blooms climb over the stone wall.
