The Tide, Rising
Dawn-dreep, shell-shine, heart’s tide rising –
Rumouring, memory, sheenskin ripple –
Fingers, obsidian, asking all knowing –
Spark and spearflash, sea-serpent, hiss –
Gossip and knock, knock, wave-whack, plunge –
Rib to furrow, salt-surge, ocean-rut –
Overlap, overrun, overcome, undermine –
