When I wanted a river,
An ocean arrived
With its astounding medley
Of tremors and surges,
In its sudden bending and sway.
Absent Poseidon, the sea cannot
Be locked shut and its glare
Pretended away.
I have known sudden
As something relative,
Shocking and startling increments
With their readable auras.
Citrus,
Bright sun,
Soft teeth,
Pressing an ear to the vagabond skin of time.
This is dancing weightless
On the silent pond,
Holding the brine of white noise
Between lips.
And wanting, waiting.
You cannot wash away the bay,
Forget the bitter lapping
Against the sweet.
