A neap tide now—
so jealous of the shore

but just think
of how much

ocean never once
touches land

so long
have I endured

this thirst
have hollowed out

and cambered
bones to search

and search
and if I waver

it is only
as a breaker

holds itself
fleetingly

in disbelief
before it falls

like thunder,
and arrives, abruptly, finally—
