you know me
now trust me
there is a house
where we all go
your mother’s family went there
your teacher’s sister’s family went there
your nephew’s cousin’s family went there
it is way out in the endless, sandy banks
they walk along the shoreline and collect rocks for jewelry and for windowsills
amber and pastel
pebbles
they eat the ***** and other beings from the sea
and when the late night comes along
the tide brings the house down into the rocky shore
Fare-thee-well
Will I see you there?
