For Lissa, with all my love.
Resilience That power wave, shambolic blue, carries at will love & anger – from leaping rocks, as salt settles in subtle hues of wreckless white… Its turquoise edge rewinds turmoil, like arpeggios played inside out. My boat poem, adrift in tides, navigating in its own storm – it feels your pull among lone stars, avid of spray, won’t run aground.
