heavy beach poem
dry grass stalks,
wind goes to sea.
objects
drawn out from land
returned.
dunes are only shapes, man.
rolling shapes,
like a sine wave waving
waves of time
through the medium of sand.
the glaring silver sunlight
on the metal parts of hot roofs
as seen from suddenly above.
try to imagine the world,
and when you imagine the world,
try to imagine all the moving parts (us, everything)
moving.
but the most important thing
right now I guess
is the thing about the dunes,
hold on to the thing about the dunes being waves,
and the waves (ocean waves) being waves.
wherever you are on planet earth,
there are beach processes going on
and barrier islands just out of sight,
“move like curtains in a breeze.”
