Sea lace

Sea Lace

 

Spinning, unravelling

Tumbling, heaving, a race

A moment, a pattern

Like Nottingham lace

Spun far away

From these bamboo limbs
And sand hotter than I’ve ever felt.

My ancestors toiled endlessly

but I sit on this shore

watching a stranded log

home to several gasping anemone

teetering

While he fetches a camera

To record the strange vision.
