I see the sea lap the rocks
the streaky current pulsing sinuous but
smooth
& tall
my breath is still
& the wind is still—
the wind is
so
still.
My cross-legged legs are streaky pulsing currents
the spine shaped by carpenters with bendy rulers
I count on one hand
all the thoughts I think—
man
that wind
is so
still.
Cloudless skies in full dominion tempt forth
wise smiles
on all sides
& breathless
still
breathless
one hand only presence
I see the streaky sea lap the rocks.
