Bio

I thought you’d risen from the sea
like Venus, or a moth with wet wings, forcing
your way between reefs and rushes to emerge,
solid and sputtering, grasping the surface

where touch met sound and the crest
of each new wave heralded the current
that pulled you under. As it turns out,
you’d just fallen from the sky, bland as any other
sign from God, some bird who stopped cold

in flight and dropped down, wings and all.
A waste, not a tragedy. You clamor
for the shore, cry that it’s too late
to learn to swim. These are the sorts of things that people
like you or I do not consider

before diving in.
