Calculations
Calculations
disinterested as the moon
in calculations on the formula
for all soils and sandstone
irresistible currents
traffic the sea-canyons
as numbers of finned
bodies slick between
bars of Mercator
projections — distorted
images of a world
replete with fury
and sound they set
waves in motions
rolling rocking
across vast spaces of midnight
sky and ripple with subterfuge
like irregular notes of a sleepless
mockingbird lost
beyond the open
window of your past

Such a unexpected experience. I love all the sea imagery.
Another beautiful poem! Love those last few lines!
