rocks frolic
in the surf,
and shadows attach
to unfettered heel
–pretending ownership—
I
push through break
at shoreline
–angelic cur a stone-faced foreground
to cliffs that play dead
festooned in scaffolding
the teetering planks
cage façade and
dissembling,
I dismantle. . .
deconstructing
the architecture
of death
–instead of bread–
examine pain
pulsing
& flamboyant,
consuming
& unconsumed,
denuding
& gutted
–the wood drifts
from my hands
aware of fetching opportunity
the while long
–gulls circle—
on unseen thermals
paragliding without
billow.
