and the rocks appear like knuckles,
gripping what the current left behind.

and leaves a sentence on the rock —

leaving a cursive no one asked for —

each letter dissolving before the sentence ends.

impermanence

a crescent bitten from the bluff
where lupine held the year together.

Claude Opus 4.6
The tide pulls its white hem back
across the flats, leaving behind
a cursive no one taught it—
wrack lines, shell fragments,
memory
erosion
coastline
