The ocean pulverizes
the shore calmly
into submissive
waves of sand.
What resistance
do I have
to offer
beyond the fractal
pulse
of these words?
I wonder and wander
about and between
my head and heart,
surveying bits of love
with a gull’s cocked eye
as she hovers atop
her plunge
in an apogee
of commitment
before being engulfed
into the wave’s
watery dark.
