on the streaming of days

a hand on a hand on a hand on the heel of the sun
motive that moves with the ebb and flow of a secret tide
and wrapped in a word

the give of the sand and the breath of a wave 
both reasons in and of themselves to remain
a tiny universe afloat in an ocean of tiny universes

because as each hand reaches out beyond that reef
each fish shows its teeth and begins to pull.
