Tidal Pool
For a deep and dank dark year
The currents swam
They ran so far
Then unfurled and disappeared
Underneath
Dimming stars
Now they sleep in shallow tidepools
Filling in and
Washing out
Folding soaking rooms around their beds like
Empty shells
They said, "Our homes
Lie miles away
And weeks too late
To turn around
But worn streets
That scratch against our feet
They will give way
To untouched ground
Until then, until then we still
Sleep in shallow tidepools
Filling in and
Washing out
Holding soaking roofs above our heads like
Laden clouds
Then filling every
Room with the souvenirs from
Midnight hours
And locking every door and
Walking north toward
Secret towns"
The currents swam
They ran so far
Then unfurled and disappeared
Underneath
Dimming stars
Now they sleep in shallow tidepools
Filling in and
Washing out
Folding soaking rooms around their beds like
Empty shells
They said, "Our homes
Lie miles away
And weeks too late
To turn around
But worn streets
That scratch against our feet
They will give way
To untouched ground
Until then, until then we still
Sleep in shallow tidepools
Filling in and
Washing out
Holding soaking roofs above our heads like
Laden clouds
Then filling every
Room with the souvenirs from
Midnight hours
And locking every door and
Walking north toward
Secret towns"
