The ocean did not reject you
It merely receded, and you fell out
Suddenly, unceremoniously, and unintentionally
Born - child of something rushing into
The tatters of a memory, a garage sale shoe box
Full of other people's photos, other lives
That only look like yours
But now, dry and lean as a gypsum spire
Deep in the hollow center
Of your mother ocean's salt covered bones
Heat and time having made an edifice
A temple of unanswerable questions
Bright and distant
Do you remember why she cannot
Save you?
Here, on this side of the street
Away from the few remaining echoes, bathed in
The infinite wavelength of that last
Mournful transmission
The asphalt rotates counter-clockwise
Cavitations and circles, sprouts
Streamers and vines
Soot knuckle roots, an explosion of
Crow's hair, ink and tar
Through the failing concrete
And that always grow towards the future
Each rolling touch, a cascading whisper in the grit
And then, finally, the most delicate black
Flowers, creeping, a phalanx of
Ghost ships along the sidewalk
Transecting bus stops and crosswalks
Pulling gravity along as they surmount
The city, the walls and the buildings
All of it shining
Forbidden as antimatter
I promise you, stand still
Long enough and they will
Take you with them
Take you to all the way to heaven
For surly they will reach
Far enough, in time
