Stoneware Bottle
encrusted with barnacles
4.5" high
from the sea
where it had been for many year
Sing says the folding water on stiller water ----
one running through where the other's breaking. Sing me
something (the sound of the low wave-breaking)
the tuning-down where it deposits life matter on
the uphill of shore)( also the multiplicity
of deepening and coverings where whiteness rises as a
manyness)
(as the wave breaks over its own breaking)
(to rip in unison)(over its own backslide) ----
of something sing, and singing disagree.
