Sea (December)

Instead of going down to speak to the sea of all my complaints, I listen for once to the sea. Unwavering lines of thunder and whisper meet the shore in constant address. They are the edge of unspoken depths whose surface sheen is their silent reminder. Rock pools gurgle with December laughter, sloshing with shell and pop-kelp only childhood calls baubles. Perpetual watery wind and windy water powers up then down, louder than any shell to the ear. While further off, icebergs dissolve in cracks. Glaciers speak their last and give up the ghost, tides heightening a whole new language.
