•
Ripples of sea move gently up blank beach
Shifting a grain of sand
And slip back again
Then, eternally., another ripple comes.
And the ripples were love, and
I was part of each
More recent ripple.
But now no longer shall I move
Near stagnant shore and smooth brown stones;
Now to float or dive in clear deep sea
Away from all but water.
—"Mezz"
