tremor of leafage
on black sand
torrid
across seascapes sketched
by voices now drowned
shadows ferry us
moment's pause in this heat
out of waves
we scoop the timeless
where rocks abide
where storms abide
in sleep you appear
then out of ripples
give me form
give me name
and anchor me
to the grief of reefs
where i remember you
where distances dazzle
rocks abide
storms abide
