The diver’s clothes lying empty

You’re sitting here with us,

but you’re also out walking in a field at dawn.

You are yourself the animal we hunt

when you come with us on the hunt.

You’re in your body like a plant is solid in the ground,

yet  you’re wind.

You’re the diver’s clothes lying empty on the beach.

You’re the fish.

In the ocean are many bright strands and

many dark strands

like veins that are seen when a wing is lifted up.

Your hidden self is blood in those,

those veins that are lute strings that make ocean music,

not the sad edge of surf,

but the sound of no shore.
