Meet Me Here.

"freeway empty
on Christmas morning—
the space
where the skid marks
change direction"

"Coral Castles

There are coral castles, battlements crumbling
beneath the sea (I’ve heard it said)
before the onslaught · of ocean’s warming,
climate-harrowing. Hand cannot erase
nor tender touch · rebuild those towers,
naught but Time · and Nature, toppling
my own high halls · and haughty pretenses
that I am other · than ocean-tears."
