THE SEA, THE SEA———
The sea dissolves so muchand the moon makes away with so much more than we know—
Once the moon comes downand the sea gets hold of uscities dissolve like rock-saltand the sugar melts out of lifeiron washes away like an old blood-staingold goes out into a green shadowmoney makes even no sedimentand only the heartglitters in salty triumphover all it has known, that has gone now into salty nothingness.
