WINDY WALK
There’s something to be said for
venturing out in the cold
and heading into the wind:
the bite on the face and tears
dimming sight, the pounding of
the surf echoed by my heart;
the dog hunkered down trying
to get under the wind, the
bleakness of the empty beach;
short steep waves with their tops blown
off , sand lifting and shifting
like in Lawrence of Arabia,
and the marsh grass showing
the scudding clouds the way to
yesterday’s calmer weather.

I'm Marty Luster, a retired attorney and politician. In 2010 my wife, mother-in-law, dog and I relocated from Central NY to Gloucester. I hope my photographs and poetry(?) reflect my love for this place and her people.
