it's the undertow.
affect affluxion,
sand, dulse, shells,
etiolated husks,
carapace and armatures
of crab, twirling, funneling,
debris hurled back against
the forward, surface dynamic,
an anti-rhythm comixtured
in wishes, wants, hopes,
dreams, all brackish
with the facts, the relentless
pounding of the sea.
you and me.
