blather
sunday's_sun
ever dumbening the swells more swiftly mimic the
tide's longer crawl
up and down the dock's grey and green
posts,
with grain raised by salt and wet winds.

as

a young boy's tongue wraps, for the
first time,
around the grassy taste,
and snappy rubbery bite, of an underripe hazelnut
growing near Grossmutti's house.

as

a craggly stick traces in bone dry dirt.

and still we are lost in this moment of eutectic skin, striped by sun and fire-escape shadows.
