“This is the sadness of the sea—
waves like words, all broken—
a sameness of lifting and falling mood.
I lean watching the detail
of brittle crest, the delicate
imperfect foam, yellow weed
one piece like another—
There is no hope—if not a coral
island slowly forming
to wait for birds to drop
the seeds will make it habitable”
