Blackout

You speak of sea
Washed around the curves of buoyancy
Stared at darkness;
A nothing monster displays, cracking, breaks,
In foams and wakes
In deep recess and bullet storm.
I miss the thought of captain’s view,
of loneliness, pulsing
blankets of black wholeness.

Water Weed

Water weed
Decimate, deep in sea;
Clamp down rocks.
Light sheath,
beaming bite, weave rolling custody –
Swing and free
Soundless underneath.

Metric

I am simple, isolate
Isometric, resonant
Resident, in effect
A geometered stamp so set
