Three Carat Rock Salt
Salt is the residue cast aside
as the ocean remembers
remembering
dagger rocks softening
under the water’s worry
sand satisfied by even
one life disturbance
What has been made from water
will again ask for water

In the Details
In the Details
The knob in the door.
The bulb in the lamp.
The Jazz Greats stamp
and what you paid for
Louis Armstrong’s cheeks.
The power in writing RTS,
how it negates the address
in the center. The creeks
a house makes, rivers
issuing from its leaks.
Or with the a, the creaks
of a house, the shivers
and cracks voiced and sent
to you. The one you forget
to carry, the sum that gets
reduced by a thousand or ten.
