Sea Glass

Sea glass
Smooth
sand makin blunt what can cut
no edge to cut
you with
this shit is clear and blue and green and brown
in triangles and nodules and squares and shapes
made by:
drunks on a dock
kids with Coke problems
cruise ships going under
Crusoe lost again or
Sting
I can’t explain the attraction – sea glass doesn’t
catch light or
let you see through it or
help you in a bar fight
It’s
blunt and cloudy and beautiful and old
and smooth
I find sharp pieces and recommit them to the rolling tides for my children.
