Under the bow
of a failing nebula
floats a time capsule
full of unused bandwidth
and disappearing summers
Swimming-pool eyes
they're in remission
discovering Columbus
on the starboard side
of this standard suburban saltbox
Fragility and risk is this
cosmic companionship
rowing to latitude
through dark matter
seiche or refracted
The oncoming tide
will mean a migration of steep passages
"though shiny, sculpted pebbles
spoke of frequent waves
the sea was docile that day"
