Slack Water
Rogue Valley

what makes the seashell sound like the ocean?
what makes the ocean sound like a shell?

what makes the salt burn?
what makes the tide turn?
what made Isaac Newton interested at all?

I find where I am through dead reackoning

in the slack water I wait; like a rag doll I wait
in the currents I'm ripped into shreds
into buttons and thread
into stuffing and fragments

what puts the carriage in front of the horses?
what puts the horses in front of the cart?

why does the mind race?
why does the heart break?
how does the chase make tomorrow too late?

I know where you are, hiding in the rocks
staring at nothing; weathering away

in the slack water you wait; like a rag doll you wait
in the currents you're ripped into shreds
into buttons and thread
into stuffing and fragments

what holds you together
what holds you apart

in the slack water I wait...I wait
