mirrors crest & crash–
reflect splintered water
(that)
conceals Jaws
(that)
breaks eyelids
(that)
face-plants grit.
Palms grip
beach towel
/sand
/seaweed
clinging to an earth
(that)
spins too fast
(that)
portends deepest cold.
Beyond briny absolutions,
Fear
colors
(that fly)
starts
(that don’t)
and off
Cape
(altogether)
unable to leap
skyscrapers,
(after all)
and
slower than
sniper shot
(that)
kills the bird
–there
up in the sky
–there
Look.
