A book must be an axe for the frozen sea inside us... (Franz Kafka)

How does one come to write with the power to melt a frozen sea?
With force, daggers invade at large;
flowers penetrate our timid hearts less than they could.

The Swans of Isla Vista

The swans swim together
mated for life,
dive to their shoulders
necks stained with algae;
they sip along the water’s surface
necks coiling, uncoiling.
On the riverbank
in late afternoon
each grooms its white body.

The future unfolds intent
allowed to manifest.

Before its egg is made and laid
a seabird forms its wings.

walking on cold sand
on webbed wet feet in summer
tough, ready, hungry
