a coastline drawn before the sea

kelp, shell, the spine of something
that once held its shape against current.

where fingers traced the coast too many times,
wearing the paper to a soft translucence

the brass lamp, oiled each Tuesday,
a logbook thick with weather,

his finger moving along the window's edge

leaving scattered glass and bruised shells
upon the dampened sand,
where moonlight cuts a silver path

in the syncopated rhythm of springs.
