Submersionary Tactics

Ankle deep but in over my head
I can recall something my father never said
& maybe my brother remembers it that way

Did you hear the glass shatter splash
& my mother ask if I was still breathing?

On the beach this morning, I won’t say where
(Rio del Mar) windchimes in the shorebreak
& on the sand a dead salmon shark
ripening in the sun
