zafusy

daylong

wind
tear-
ing,
bright
strips,
moon-
light
from
the
tide

mass

body
break-
ing,
dis-
solution,
salt
host
on
the
sand

p.t.o.

the
loud
stones,
glass
break-
ing,
white
sheet
on
the
shore

child’s-eye

look-
ing
up,
gull
mobile,
hang-
ing
from
the
sun

held

warm
breeze,
the
strong
light,
stone
slipped
in
my
hand

aphrodite

slow
strokes,
waves
comb-
ing,
ribbons
from
the
sea

garret

wave
sliding,
sky-
light,
open
on
the
shore

grail

wave
and
foam,
back
break-
ing,
polish-
ing
the
stone

homesick

gray
shore,
dis-
tant
plan-
et,
moon-
rise
in
the
bay

aftermath

day-
break,
quiet
thun-
der,
light-
ning
laps
the
strand

clearance

shore-
birds,
v’s
stream-
ing,
flight-
path
from
the
stone

mythic

lost
race,
white
horses,
traces
on
the
sand
