waves

whether the
wood grain
could attach itself

like ocean waves
without a shore
or reference

is not of question.

like our cells
are pilots-
looping arms
around arms

and flesh. I
taste sharp air
as you cook,

the onions curl
as locks flutter
in front of your

forehead, above markings,
earned. wrinkles or
horizons, a brow housing

eyes or globes-
our very earth & world

churns as the sun
returns a bright glare

on wood slats beneath
my toes. it blinds–

and yes, it glows.
