An Old Hammock

An old hammock 
sways in a safe place;
appearances of familiar geometry,
echoes of crashing tidal motion.

This place was always
home to us - this place to 
seek shelter, seek disguise, covet oblivion; 
posit persuasions in waves 
of ocean,

perhaps to cradle a foreign ear,
or disturb the lonely torpid night.
