At the Golden Gate

Lawrence Ferlinghetti

At the Golden Gate

At the Golden Gate
A single plover far at sea
                 wings across the horizon
A single rower almost out of sight
                 rows his skull into eternity
And I take a Buddha crystal in my hand
                 And begin becoming pure light
