Two Poems

figures of speech

sea foam hush alluvial sand winnows bone white wood all you want all I have want    feels good I’m coming                           apart sea breeze voices continuous quiet sleeping dog’s nose scripted in cursive salt apse of white wave collapse ebb     crest sifted footprints fill hermit and horseshoe: carapace litter circumstantial continuity fall from grace push away from sabotage it gets to me after              awhile beach ball delay meaning small waves each new folds into old dark stones where the bottomless trophy repeats, suns find a deep echo not in burst but drama seized pebble by pebble out of symmetry thrown for a loop the lost start struck things half full capture the used music, the rusted horn buzz scope holding fast to as measured a bees bumble, a mauled petal perturbed circles as in a radar whirr
