Into the nowhere zone 

by Mike Marcellino

On the shore

brazen

the raven,

or is it a crow?

A blackbird's

tell tale colors,

purples and blues;

gives away a Starling's

stutter step

pecking

at crumbs.

He walks the old splintered planks

floor of the beachcomber,

dating back to seventy-five.

In the air

above the sea

propelled

by a crashing wave

perhaps three feet;

nothing like

being in the air

above the sea.

Absent time

absent thoughts

no worry, but the surf -

nirvana after all

in the liquid glass

rainbows over your left shoulder.

Hurricane curls, like dancing girls -

first Irene, then Katia

swells capped off by a wild northeaster

clocking winds over 50 miles per hour

creating havoc on the beach.

Riding faces five or six feet high

wipe outs turn you into a pretzel,

no fear, you can only die.

Atop a cliff of white foam

aqua below, daring

you to take off

flirt with the unknown

deep down;

in that instant

you go

falling into the nowhere zone
