Low tidal love


 Low tidal love

john clare


St Marks river at low tide

Revealed the fiddler crab trail

Guarding the bottle found

beneath the roots tangling down

Plucked from the gulf brine

Discerning a note inside

Thrown by the White's

Upon their anniversary night

Wishing he who found this note

Would be equally love smote

Too crusty for such words

Took the long journey toward

The lonely garage apartment

Arriving late a letter sent

Sent to the mailbox never used

Something made me stop

Saying,look in the mailbox

And so I read

Immediately I said

This is the Whites note answered

Waiting here all too quickly

And so immediately

I replied to the letter from Melanie...

telling her

YES

I would love to come down

to Williston 

and teach you

Photography!

The rest is

history.....
