"Migration" illustration from Nancy Standlee for my "Dreams of the Turtle King" beach poem book.
The poem is Migration and the illustration is for a stanza in the poem ...
"A teenage boy
with a skateboard
walks with an adolescent girl
dragging a sleeping bag..."
This is based on a series of the most moving sights I saw one morning at the beach. The homeless were vacating the beach as the tourist were getting up from their safe and cool night in the hotels lining the beach. This poem covers two groups as they made their way to the spots where they would spend the daytime, the boy and girl moving off together here in Nancy's illustration.
