The Sun Sinks Into It’s Own Silence   2 comments

Couple Watching the Sunset on the Sea of Cortés Shore in Puerto Peñasco — Image by kenne

The sun sinks into its own silence.
No myth, no god—just heat and gravity
doing their patient work.
The couple, small in the vast geometry,
watch without speaking,
and for once
the scale feels right:
love and ocean,
each immense,
each ending.

Pelican At Sunset (Puerto Peñasco) by kenne

Pelican

big bird
ugly as sin
flaps over the shoreline
like it owns the joint.

sun’s going down—
one of those cheap sunsets
people clap for,
like the world did a trick.

but the pelican doesn’t care,
doesn’t slow down,
doesn’t pause for applause.

it just rides the air,
beak heavy,
wings awkward,
perfect anyway—
because it doesn’t try
to be beautiful.

An unblemished shell might know
The current from shore to shore
But in its preservation
What adventures went unexplored?

“What’s the difference
between a good friend
and a best friend?
A good friend knows
all your stories.
A best friend
helped you write them.”

Puerto Peñasco, Rocky Point, is a Mexican fishing and resort city on the Sea of Cortes. It’s known for dune-backed Sandy Beach
and Bahía la Choya’s tidal pools. The Center for the Study of Deserts and Oceans has gardens and a fin-whale skeleton.
Rocky Point is often called “Arizona’s beach” because it is close in proximity to Arizona and easy to get to rather quickly.
