Wave Song

I hear distances in the waves
           being reached

as a salamander creeps 
out of the jungle

and on to the beach
                          a rain-induced sleep

imperturbable
       even by tropical gales
       
chaos in the furrowed brow
of the concentrated wave

the sky holding its breath
             as the sea speaks for it

says to the shore:
kiss me, brother

I have agonized over
the depths for too long

I consist of pain
              and too much truth

and so I give to you
this song.
