ever-cast
salt-spray my way you climb
and
climb higher so I cannot resist the shell
of which
hands define of filament and line
beached but free ever-cast fish-
netted
beseeching within where
barnacle meets
thigh of absoluteness of tightened breath
and
altered tide-line its unending sound-
turn and pull of
shore weed multitudes of line covered
glass point east
toward the sea of you my distance
(farm-fresh) my
shutter-thought-speed lanterns
crisscrossed clothes-lined
alleys strewn with beach glass where
wind slams gated
diners of our past
I sat seaward salt-sprayed my
hair where hand meets hand and hush-
hush movement
and silence of which
your swollen fisted ribbed claw sought-
sorrow unspoken
this liquid dream of abandon born-blue
in another's lost brother
dream his death which
conceived and nursed you
and
climb higher so I cannot resist the shell
of which
hands define of filament and line
beached but free ever-cast fish-
netted
beseeching within where
barnacle meets
thigh of absoluteness of tightened breath
and
altered tide-line its unending sound-
turn and pull of
shore weed multitudes of line covered
glass point east
toward the sea of you my distance
