10. A combination of small south & northwest groundswells
delivering waves of up to five feet at north-facing beaches where
I once saw a palomino seahorse galloping in the foam
its wild eyes a pair of polished obsidian stones set on fire
the thunder of its hooves no more than a whisper now as I
gather a bouquet of broken glass & rusty windchimes for the
French girl with leukemia who at this very moment is gently
knocking at my door
