wave after wave
wind rises from a whisper
to full throated roar
wave gives birth to wave
absorbs all things great and
small
gives birth to a new thing
wave upon wave
everything churning
the waters muddy
wave over wave
i am carried back and forth
my feet without purchase
wave chases wave
gravity’s inexorable pull
the shore is a dream
waves become wave
becomes a wall – all that
weight
pressure blankets me
wave seeks its freedom
braces itself against me
the spray an entreaty
this is the wave
it is neither friend nor foe
this
is the wave
