When she comes,
she comes
without mercy.
Your sins are
nothing to the
raging of her
tempests– 
the calm tides 
of her indifference.
What you have done
is nothing
to the scale of 
her breathing,
to the slow,
inexorable, 
pulse 
of her life.
Her shores are
shifting
and you
have been lost
beneath them.
When the 
sea comes,
the bells ring.
You
are forgotten.
