<\/p><\/p>
We stood where the land<\/p>
loses its patience,<\/p>
on that trembling line<\/p>
between permanence<\/p>
and undoing.<\/p>
<\/p>
Rushing,<\/p>
retreating into itself.<\/p>
Nothing new,<\/p>
only everything<\/p>
that ever mattered.<\/p>
<\/p>
I thought of you<\/p>
swimming in that sea,<\/p>
all that pale determination<\/p>
in your limbs.<\/p>
<\/p>
I watched from the edge,<\/p>
as readers do,<\/p>
pretending participation<\/p>
through observation.<\/p>
<\/p>
To mistake understanding<\/p>
for intimacy,<\/p>
because at this distance,<\/p>
I\u2019m the one waving.<\/p>
<\/p>
The sea<\/p>
has no memory of you.<\/p>
It can only perform listening;<\/p>
but perhaps<\/p>
grief and forgetting are the same thing<\/p>
when we\u2019re made of motion.<\/p>
