New Discoveries in Familiar Places

New discoveries in familiar places

once rocky beach
now mostly sand
where Kate searched each year for her solstice stone
“This will be a challenge to find one now”
& just that fast she hands me
a solstice stone with a hole in it
“You can spot a ship on the horizon with this”
& I put the hole to my eye
& just that fast spotted a ship on the horizon
I reached into my backpack pocket
to find my pen to write about this
& came out with a green mechanical Italian pencil
Venus - 043
that I had never seen before.
