"I Have Walked Along Shores" was written on October 23, 1990, in Lincoln City, Oregon, about a week after I tested positive for HIV.
I also was reminded of Whitman's "Starting from Paumanok," and his phrase "our old mother, the sea."
Yes, it is a poem and lovely. Evocative. Such very different shores, currents, all pulling/ tugging at something.
