only pumps speaking in a language of lungs.
Moonlight slides down the tunnel of glass
and the sharks pass like unfinished thoughts.

At the wharf, the morning is a net of tin light,
ropes breathing, gulls combing the wind for a seam.
We set out with empty baskets and a pocket watch,
its face fogged with salt like a small moon.
