Read to the ocean when alone

Read to the ocean 
               when alone -
                     flat-bottomed tanker 
                            on the horizon
                                  cargo unknown,
      a gull -
              one leg steady,
                    sleepy head.
                  
 Drop rhymes 
         at rock pools -
                    limpid clear
                          anemones wave
                                  thin red arms,
                cunjevoi squirt 
                            applause
                                    ,or are silent,
                                        amongst  disappearing
                                            hermit crabs 
                                                 and lettuce-weed slugs.

  Throw lines to the air - 
              a breeze,
                     a current 
                                 drift out
                                        over the sea.
