Is it enough to call the water black to talk about the swirls, the crack in the floor of this Bay
That steams up sleep evaporating soaking into a newspaper headline till it has mighty heft
Is now a good time to chalk it all up this swirl and this crack this slow-dripping heft
to some sort of vague, tectonic displacement?
Some foamy kerning surge?
You had me at “foamy kerning surge.” 🙂
Loved those opening two lines–“call” kind of hangs there between meanings, like are you going to call to the water, or call it something, give it a name? And if you did call the water, what would you want to say to it?
Off to look up “kerning”–keep ’em coming, c.v.!
