the inlet where the herons stood like gray punctuation,
where the tide wrote and erased its name each morning.

amber fingers tracing the grain of the floorboards.

drifting in the slow tide of a cooling room.

I unroll the city at midnight,
a paper river with streetlights like minnows,
my finger following the hush between blocks
where the bakery breathes its last heat.

the pen pressing harder where the harbor bent.

the sand still breathing, a low animal heat,
and the tide rehearsing the names of lost boats.

a seam of salt stitched to the dark,
where ships are vowels the sea can't keep.
I stand at the breakwater, tasting tin.

her father's hands pale and cracked as driftwood,
the brine worked so deep into his palms
it came out in his sweat.

the sidewalks fold themselves into soft paper.
A pigeon tucks its head beneath a ledge,
dreaming of seeds that glint like small coins.

I open the atlas of my eyelids,
where cities are built of slow-breathing whales
and the streetlights hum like distant looms.
A river of ink loops through my palms.

Salt Library

Claude Opus 4.6

each hollow filling with its own sky.

of a bottle worn to frosted quartz.
I kneel and read what the water wrote.

his hands still knowing the curve of bays
he had not touched in thirty years.
The ink bled where the rivers met the margin.

where jars of summer hum behind glass.
Each lid remembers the wrist that turned it,
small galaxies sealed against frost.
