DEBORAH P KOLODJI

Below Sea Cliffs

New pools, new worlds,
left by receding waves. 

Cormorants fly by,
black shadows overhead,
as the gray sky grows.

As foam returns, rising, rising,
I sink into my tide-pool ocean. 
Limpets become boulders
and I scramble with the hermit crabs
for shelter.

      sudden storm—
      the words of our last
      argument
