near sleep
who is to see
that the waves
must be in Hawaii,
Mombasa or Rio
the waves
need no place
with a glorious
name and sight,
need no tourists
with their goddamn
shouts of awesome
and wow and oooo
waves are waves
and i listen,
sand and stones
move inside
in the in between
of awake and sleep,
the primeval tide
of coming and going
this is solitude,
sound in stillness,
i told the gulls
to stay away
and i sink and fall
and leave be
me and you
for a breath in time
tomorrow,
tomorrow may be
i find a home
together with you
in this in between,
riding these waves
inside and so near
afloat in dream
together and alone
resting on time
as if it was a sea
or wind
but now
now i will sleep.
now you will.
i will send
you my waves
whispering in your ear
for a moment
only now and now
my ear on your chest
like on a seashell
i will listen
for secret answers
here is peace
tourists forbidden
dogs allowed
