Party Crasher

When now comes unannounced.

Her roar cut first, between our voices.
Glass broke.
The ocean was bringing demands.
We did not feel ourselves ready to hear these,
but they were not going to wait.

I keep watch and listen, mostly in dark places.

    When the ocean roars, it’s best to pay attention. It’s much bigger than we are.
