Create

Create

the Pacific

the Atlantic

the Indian

the Arctic

the water moves

high tide, low tide

it’s liquid across all four

spilling over sand

pulling up letters

flooding the palace

a tsunami

of sorts

what we go through

as human beings

at different levels

of sea

what drowns

what floats

what you try to keep dry

and save

maybe that’s why the sky

is such a sacred thing

it connects a people

to a place

we look up

from below

like an ant on a hill

the clouds shred apart

to reveal the grey

a dab of white and black

blended on the board

and brushed against canvas

the Artist works

in charcoal
