Of Your Shores
When the dark tide turns --
tumult from the deep disturbed
Black spoil surfaces
where the moon
intensely casts luminosity,
scans these lonely beaches
-- amid --
tossed driftwood, weed entangled

combers scour, overlook
agates like me --
pearls begging capture
on your stroll

but, I'm a rough gem
soon clutched by a child,
feebly hurled
toward a pale sky --
cast into the rolling,
deep blue, swallowed
another century or two of
drowning, yearning

lunar might
magnetically,
howeverly, expel me
during some dark purge --
a former truant
of your shores.

Brian, why so many dashes?
and the introduction of 'howeverly'. set to learn.
