Another place
Cast out of unthinking matter, we cooled.
flesh became, bone became, brain became, heart.
Frozen we stand here, less fooling than fooled.
Imperfect images, expressions, art.
Cast on the beach, on the sea-rippled sand,
left by the water we wait for the tide
coming to cover us, take us in hand,
Claim us by storm or by silent slow glide.
Cast in the sea like a stone, without fuss.
Knowing the future, accepting our fate:
life overwhelms us, for that's what it does.
Eyes on the rising horizon, we wait.
