This and These and Others
There is a place where I go to sea.
Where things once worn were
I hear there, there is time
And I make marks that resemble
The assemblies
That flash there like gold water birds
Some are caught in my nets
And they are now songs in formed by these hands
Forming forms returning to seas
That I will not betray
By erasing the words of their lines
