a tidal basin flooded, to the tippie toes of jefferson and lincoln
winds blowing strong and water creeping up to 6 feet
seeping into basements and under the skirts of doors
metro closed…a historic day
even the soldiers changing guard at the unknown tomb were given an evening of rest…………………they turned it down
a night spent partially in the dark drove us to find sunnier, happier, unwind swept places

travelling north from dc, we ended up in a cute boutique
the beauty of isabel unbeknownst to all in the sleepless town
an island unto itself we wandered the streets we now know comfortably
stumbling across this and across that
aliens invaded rockefellar center
and the last day of summer was felt thru the trees and in the swan’s smile at the lake

happy faces all around.
