Poem: rocks
cliffs
morning breaks with the waves white
the sky empty
waiting
for weather from the north
for the last of a bright sun followed
by years of cloud
horizon to horizon
a gray cotton sheath
a dressing for a wound
the voices
the wind
the notes of waves
the chorus of seabirds
the last of the sun
the bulb of the planet
its fragile glass
sucked of air
the sea boils
the birds explode
and the rocks are
as they always are
the rocks survive...
