The tide will come in

but I - always - outrun
upon - jutting rocks

once - being a starfish
have held - air, face-down

procrastinated - tongue 
folded - words and 

right to live – tendered
to – the past

like a sunflower diverted
by the sun – so will I

inevitably - halting syllables
having no root – only

sound of a creature once caught

this hobbled back - sand 
between teeth 

now face up - the air full
lungs stretched - elastic

as the tide - could sing now
running mid the waves.
