It is slightly off-putting to see a weather vane here
Atop an abandoned restaurant in a section
Of the Gulf Coast in the Florida panhandle.
It is an odd pairing: the hammered metal outline
Of an unidentifiable farm bird
And the acrid lick of a saltwater breeze.
They toil with one another for control
Over the limited space above the eroded
Walls of the boarded up eatery
While I’m down here
Scavenging for crumbs.
