Blue Waters The Sky
The oceans remember
us, moving
to the shore
waves and more waves
remembering
The sand is silent
like a still-breath
holding the ribs
a body of saline
and footprints
There are waves
that do not survive
their shallow ending
exiled
in a stitch of sand and salt
against the shore
I step
into the sea
and I am
everywhere
a light wind, light touch
blue waters the sky
We come from this
and still
we are nothing
but this feeling
this moment
the end that begins
