estuary
raze
you
don't
look
anything
like
god
to
me
.
but
god
is
alive
in
you
.
your
dark
swirl
of
a
life
so
much
shorter
than
my
own
.
the
lens
won't
bend
the
light
that
hits
this
pane
of
glass
.
i
see
you
better
when
my
eyes
are
closed
.
we
meet
in
the
estuary
where
half
-formed
thoughts
pool
,
a
memory
of
a
memory
,
drowning
in
all
that
can't
be
seen
or
said
.
220120
...
unhinged
the
birds
that
live
there
have
extra
long
legs
and
beaks
to
carefully extricate
their
food
from
the
water
i
stand
at
the
edge
afraid
like
one
wrong
step
will
suck
me
under
220120
what's it to you?
who
go
blather
from
