of something that once held.

illuminating what we prefer to ignore—
the slow, golden procession of motes
drifting through the quiet afternoon air.

Wings

the way gravity finally releases
what it held only loosely.

the balance always shifting

each wave a page turned back
before the sentence ends.

the way her father's hands moved—
one long hesitation, then certainty.

but will not send.

fills its own mouth with white wool
until the fenceposts vanish
and the road becomes a rumor

leaving only what it could not carry —
a bottle clouded to milk,
one rubber glove still holding the shape of a hand.

each letter a century of arrival and retreat.

every footprint like a promise

what some other coast has lost—
a bottle, a name half-erased,

each pool a province of kelp and broken light,
borders redrawn twice daily
by a government of moon.
