ON THE GREAT WAVE
I rode
The Great Wave
With its many grabbing hands
All the way into the ground
The other day
Pummeled into submission
By the goddess of sand
(who held me desperately for a time)
I was pulled back
Into the watery maw
Blind now I go
With the gathering currents
Joining fingers with the rest
Of her adherents
Ready to embrace again
The salt in my body
is the sea in me,
Eroding,
Receding,
Exploding and pleading

Author's Note
I've often wondered why I love Hokusai's image so much.
