This tide laps gently at the soul’s hull,
Drawing you out where water’s wide.

Jump across the water like a fish.
This tide laps gently at the soul’s hull,
Drawing you out where water’s wide.

bends against the new season’s subtle color.
Above the snowline the years startle:
the flick of the starling’s iridescent wing.
