Timeless Tides
It greets me at daybreak
That subtle stench of fog
Tinged by yesterday’s fish.
A rhythmic chatter
Tide tormented boats
Counting coup on weary hulls.
Voices lost in a drone of tedium.
Another day captured
In the same colors, and textures
Of an endless moment.
Time, entrenched in a now,
Tethered to a then
Anchored to a distant shore.
