An owl asking:
Who?
Who?
If not me,
then you.
If not you,
then
Who?
Who?
Who?
If not me,
then you.
If not you,
then
Who?
It is September, yet
I can still hear the beach.
The sea moves and swells;
it tumbles to the shore,
dusts itself off,
They deserve to laugh and sit on the floor and coo over babies.
They deserve to talk in a language I don’t understand.
They deserve to look at each other with love.
Sweat gathers everywhere as
I climb the golden pavement.
The known ways, the known faces
are waves in the sound.
