the estuary’s mouth
I am the shore. No – hear me out:
I have long been a collector of things, a rescuer, harbor
for the tempest-tossed. Two years ago today, these words:
‘sometimes the whole world cracks open; sometimes it’s just your own heart.
sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference.’
And today, this thought: I am where things come to break
or rest : read that as you will.

Thank you so much!
The title and the final lines clinch this one.
Love the images and whole.
Thank you… the title was an afterthought, actually. I grew up near the Hudson; she’s one of the grandest estuaries in the world. And that word has such resonance.
