Look Up - Noaa Rienecker
Deep relentless
That bass walks but
Really rides, sizzling
Oceanic, eternal
Elemental, unstoppable,
The only song.
Curling gnarls of froth spit inaroundatop
Unspeakably delicate, bone-shattering power
Lightning and reflections
In the vapor and the eddies,
Here for an instant,
Gone.
If that deep roar is dampened
By the seawall
And your attention drawn to the words on the plaque
If that voice that screams listen
is so loud
That you can’t hear anything else
Then i, preoccupied, enchanted,
tenuous and afraid,
i have forgotten what I am.
