weary eyes, we gaze: hidden
blue penetrating across glass shards,
slow to fold our creases.
say, the jelly strands grace
hair into fans of curiosity,
crowning over silver tarnish
which adorns maroon and white
letters, though not of our own ship.
does coast water surge into madness?
when sodium grains wound the surface
afloat each slant of an eyelash.
for lukewarm coral tucks the ears
softly, surely in a pocketful of loving breaths.
