And our own salt shells
Reaching out to each other
And to the space where there is silence -
We would channel
The rich and random
Gleaned and gathered up

Such understandings so applied beyond the mould
Cool swaggering and celebrations can unfold
Upon the fine and more elaborate sands.
Hear how we haunt our lives and overlook
The shape of the shore and the sea sounds
Loosening our salt through slow and sumptuous
Revelation of their plans.
