ebb

it hides there, beneath the wisp of cloud
clouds all broken into pieces, forlorn and sad like a homeless ocean

the ebb so far out, feet flat on the sea bed
it is magic, sense the ocean drift



bursting

how it teases, rocks aplenty of squiggly things
life bursting into tiny streams

jagged edges do little to carp fear on
it cannot help with wish dreams of the hapless

to push back the waves so far; I can quickly run across
find the route to where heartbeats wait to clip onto energies

there's a light rain falling in gentle tacks
feet on warm paved promenade; subtle electric magnet under soles



discard*

socks discarded; knife edge to display shell fish harvest
the moon on the coast wills its eyes in shy want

it must come to pass
and it will -- all in good time



after all, what is passion -- but ebb, burst, discard?*
(not in that order, necessarily)
