to the houdini man in my life


waves without rhythm

you come.

you go.

the ebb and flow has

an undiscernable

pattern.

meanwhile I stand

on the shoreline

wearing dry sand

like a hairshirt.

but waters flow,

and there should be

a rhythm.

perhaps I’ve

just stood

on the shore

too long

to know.
