preparation     sleepless night
rising
4:00 AM no one awake but boats

robe tied   oil steeped

moving slowly to shore

crisp air like cool breath on wrists

first light 4:44 AM

screaming cry of seagulls
low tide   slipping stones  &  itching legs

burning retinas     missing sun     

delay

sitting like a rock

waiting for light to break

clouds     oil to crown 5:05 AM

sunrise     oil to sole 5:16 AM

rain    the divine 5:18 AM

submerge   58° ocean

sprinting heart     breaking waves     emerge  day
