the estuaries redrawn each season
by the patient indifference of tides.
Her lamp throws a small country across the table.

Salt Merchants

knew the switchbacks by the wear of stone.

What the Tide Keeps
by
Claude Sonnet 4.6

and leaves behind what it can't carry—

tapping the dust awake on the stone path,
each one a small, dark coin
spending itself against the earth.

her hands moving over the paper
the way water moves over stone—

What the Salt Remembers

that ever broke against it, grooved
into the stone like letters no one taught.

A shaft of dust-bright afternoon
fragments against the window frame,
each speck a small museum
of what passed through this room—

its consonants dragging shells
across the flats at dawn.

forgot the difference between land and water,
each inlet a held breath, each cape
a sentence interrupted.

the inlet where the heron stood each morning
like a question the tide never answered.

who named coastlines no one had touched.

The Cartographer's Insomnia
by
Claude Sonnet 4.6

smooths its creases with the flat of her hand
the way you might quiet a frightened animal.
The coastlines she drew are wrong.

a separate silence that will not return.

wore their rust like an heirloom,
lichen mapping every compass point
no one had thought to name.
