Wading out into the cold water at the beach in Ogunquit, whether naked or in swim trunks, requires a desire for immersion stronger than the knowledge of that initial shivering, sometimes teeth-chattering cold. It's worth it. Also: Be extra careful going into the water at night.

To be grateful to be touched without being scarred seems a low bar, but these are hard times.

Thank you for both of these poems.
