THINGS OF THE SEA BELONG TO THE SEA
The shell in my hand, no bigger than my fist,
Is closing down because it must exist.
Hinged like a drawbridge, its embattled gate
Guards the glow of its inner ornament-The ghost of the oyster that activates the pearl-
The soul within, the world without the pale.
I run my fingers over its grooves and scars
Encrusted with lichen and barnacle and weed-Medals won in combat, the outer war
It wages with the sea. I feel the tide
Surge around my ankles-on every sideSuction, pressure, a tugging intensity
Heightened by the grip of what I hold in my hand,
Surrender gently, and step back up on land.
