Subterranean Tide II

at approximately 4:00 am
eastern standard time
I feel the shore line
it rolls in and washes over
a self sleeping with sand
most days it sails in quietly
waking soft green eyes
and crimson cheeks
and the stars, the moon, the eclipse
are all one force pulling me
into the same existence
residing among a willful cosmos
descending a staircase
