WHOSE NAME IS WRITTEN IN THE WATER
Today I walked into the ocean
Shin deep in cool brine
The soles of my feet digging trenches
In the sea smoothed sand
And perched precariously on one leg
With the other I traced my name
In small, cursive strokes
Just below the water’s surface
An infinitesimal imprint
A quiet confessional
A name that existed for a moment
And no longer, before the sea swept it away
Shin deep in cool brine
The soles of my feet digging trenches
In the sea smoothed sand
And perched precariously on one leg
With the other I traced my name
In small, cursive strokes
Just below the water’s surface
An infinitesimal imprint
A quiet confessional
A name that existed for a moment
And no longer, before the sea swept it away
