Wind Chimes
of metal and string
above, tiny bars
dangling, bringing
breath from far
away. What oceans
say to the towns
they spoon, in
shore-speak, rocks
rubbed soft through
sandy pillow talk:
Take all the pieces
of the world arriving
to you. Beaches
full of sand thriving
alongside water, wind
that carries the place
away, then back, tinged
with a foreign taste.
