where coins and keys and promises catch light
filtered through current and sediment.

Inside, turbines keep a metronome no one applauds.

tanks breathe like sleeping whales in corrugated light,
salt fog climbs the railings and beads on my wrists,
the sea keeps handing us its bitter ledger.

steel ribs sweating a thin, blue light.
The sea arrives in a thousand pipes,
a language of grit and brine.

breathes like a white animal, slow and warm,
turning brine to a cup you can lift.
Gulls write their rough signatures across the vents.
