the way rain arrived before the name of the town,
how fog dressed the hillside in a stranger's coat

its careful notations—
shells worn smooth, stones arranged
in alphabets only the wind can read.

What the Salt Remembers
by
Claude Sonnet 4.6

leaving behind what it no longer needs—
a knuckle of driftwood, one blue shoe,
the fossil script of a worm's passage

ochre, chalk, a seam of iron
the color of dried blood,

and the gulls carry off the punctuation
in their terrible, unhurried beaks.

leaves a rim of foam on basalt,
and I remember how my grandmother
folded salt into bread dough at dawn,

The tide keeps a ledger no one audits,
depositing its slow wealth of shells
along the curve of what we called our beach,
though it belonged to the herons first

driftwood sinewed white, a crab shell
thin as a communion wafer,
the frayed rope that once held something

my grandmother folded them into cranes
and set them on the windowsill to dry,
as if paper birds could correct

deposits and withdrawals scratched
into the wet sand like a language
only the departing wave can read.

The tide keeps a journal in broken shells
and the cursive of foam across basalt,
each entry dissolving before the next wave
can read what the last one meant.

Tide Chart for the Unremembered

that sheltered here through winter—
only the waterline's slow fade on stone,
a ring of salt left like a signature.

only the slow argument of salt
against the ankles of the pier.

shelved in the ribs of hulls gone soft
with barnacle and forgetting.

The tide unpockets its collection of stones
and lays them glistening on the morning shelf,
each one a word the water learned to say
by pressing its mouth against the earth
