right now
in my head
the spaces
between words
are full of the sea
& my thoughts keep coming back
to the road
that runs over the hill
& down to the coast
so much so
that
at any moment
I might set aside
whatever it is I’m doing
& just go
for no reason other than
I want to stand
on the shingle
& watch the water running up
the sand almost up
to my feet
then falling back
each time getting closer
as the moon
moves
on its way
& by so doing
perhaps discover
the reason
for my being there
