1363

WHAT I NOTICED

When the waves withdraw, the hard wet sand is pearled with small stones;
The runnel wears a lattice of lozenges onto the surface.

It doesn't look like fish scales.

When I empty the dehumidifier onto the driveway, the streams
Curve in their channels and pulse
Parabolically.

When I have rested, I am prepared to take issue with what in my spirit
Leads me to feel every touch as a tackle and charge.

What gets what it needs, grows.
