Another Year Older

An Uneven Tide
Half the day it comes in
Half the day rolls out
Never a moment’s rest
Plying brief even tide
Sinking
Begging the moon give up its secret
Give it a rest —
I’m coming, I’m going
Systematically or diabolically
No will of my own strong enough
Cede I must to Mother Nature
This burden
Drifting
Obeying
Until I’m beached forever more

Bury me in brown crystal sand castles
Before the moon compels this eternal tide
Return
Erode my memory, sever me
From a mystery
