Nature Preserve. Blue skin of a Bic pen
along some waxy plastic amorph.
Tidewrack strip salted with mussel dust.
No smoking. Long neck of the spit
past Atwater Beach sleeps & drinks.
Nothing escapes. Cream shush behind.
Didn’t ask. Told. Figwort on the bluff edge.

Seth Copeland grew up in Indiahoma, Oklahoma. His poems have appeared in Puerto del Sol, Poet Lore, Yalobusha Review, Rust & Moth, and South Dakota Review, among others. He edits petrichor and co-hosts the Tabi Po poetry series in Milwaukee.
