Love this one! The ending, in particular, leaves me with much to reflect on. It pushes me outside my usual frame of reference, but doesn't provide a new, prescribed perspective. I'm left in a beautiful state of open wonder. That's how I like my poetry. ☺️ Thank you! 🙏
"if I thought
far enough
I’d leave my
face."
Well done! This is going to stick around with me for a while.
You had me at “It’s the ocean sounding out…’
Looking forward to your new book.

"a low sky’s
loop of
variable white"
Such a perfect description of the sky as seen from someone on a coast. Memories of Lake Michigan came into my head immediately. Great poem.
Beautiful
Wonderful poem!
Thanks, Keith!
