Western Wind


western wind
is the night’s breath
birth

every dream segment
eggs in cluster

conception
of feather
petal and pearl
mussels shelled upon the rock

where radial armlets grasp
grip each passing tide

ribbon
strung
hidden

along the sea’s glass tongue

will you listen for the last gasp?

polish the granules that sit so close
just to hold
your shadow
your footing
unstripped against each blow
your steady
outline rendered

on the contours
of the landing

where you fish
for every sun
