shelves of kelp and crushed quartz
filing themselves by surge and season,
each volume dissolved before it dries.

each crystal labeled with the ocean it forgot —
Adriatic, Baltic, a nameless lake
that dried before anyone thought to name it.

in the way it hesitates at the shore's edge

of a boat whose name was someone's daughter.
Nothing is lost, only reshelved

the bays curving inward like cupped hands
holding water they could never keep.
Each inlet named for a sound she'd heard once—

broken shells, a knot of kelp,
the hollowed architecture of a crab
still wearing its last season.

just dim themselves degree by degree
as the horizon swallows their light,

and the beach is all confession —
ribbed sand, the cursive tracks of plovers,
a jellyfish dissolving into light.

the lids rusted shut with salt air,
and the light inside turned amber
like a word you almost remember.

The Reshaping

It simply visits, again and again,
carrying its small persistence,
wearing nothing, proving nothing.

scratching equations into sand
that no one copies down in time.

across the gravel lip of shore,
leaving a tremor of foam,
a cursive no one keeps.

with questions nobody filed.

The tide keeps its own ledger,
tallying what the shore surrenders—
a crab's hollow gauntlet, the pale
arithmetic of shells ground fine
