whitecaps

under moon

King tide swells
to moon who pulls
the blood’s salts too
in rising time, to listen
what comes tracing
movements of light
and sound, speaking
in dance.

Cat snores lightly
on my lap, her tail
rippling breath.

Author: Stacey C. Johnson

I keep watch and listen, mostly in dark places.
