Cliffs at Torrey Pines

echoes of waves
breaking in rocks.

soft spoken colors
washed out of cliffs

unrecorded history
written into bluffs

amber strands of kelp
long buried by sand

yellow carvings of female figures
sculpted by erosion

millions of years
of terraced mud and silt

warmth of retained light
 dissolving into evening’s rising tide
