this is what the earth looks like when it starts sinking
rocks smooth round like bald heads
they aged and lost their hair at sea
i am a baby
arms hanging over the edge of my cradle, land,
feet poking through the beams
ankle-deep in foam
i want to ride the waves out so that i can expand
appear in the ocean like its breeding season and i am everything born
it is, and i can see the rain coming at us, proof
that the earth is sinking
but the sea is rising
