can you sense the swell of newness

can you sense the swell of newness

sloshing around within the chalice

of all elusive sameness


in that moment before waking

when ocean overwhelms the bay


a diaspora of fishing boats washed up along a coastal roadside

splintered worlds of boats and fish affixed like stone within its pavement

as a token, wheel-well glimmer

offers spinning mica

to those fish who cannot tease apart the light


for this highway is opaque,

just now, translucent


yet, no angler is upset while reeling in a ghost ship

as the sea eddies in an unrelenting mime
