wish you were here

Postcard

oceans don't listen,
shout a song
sung as a round instead,
stunning, trammelling with report
a beach forgotten out of season

grey light listing,
a sunless, pointillist november

of single notes of sand
played one then none by the slow fade

of a muted john cage shadow

night sea lightning,
strobe-lit unstructured wavelengths
captured then released,
abutting the seen / unseen infinite
with the scent-electric burn of memories
