Tidal Sights and Sounds

Towards Evening
*
*
The muted roar of tidal surge
sounds like a convergence of one
million whispers.
*
Reflection of the sun's unrolled
like a ragged carpet on the surface
of the sea.
*
To touch the wind with your tongue
is to taste ancient salt and conjure
braids of kelp.
*
Soon the sea will say its vespers
deep inside its tidal whispers.
