Between The Sea And Me

CATEGORY

life

What a strange entity

is the sea; inanimate, yet

teeming with life.

 

What stories it has to tell:

no less a graveyard of history;

replete with the remains

of those only time remembers.

 

Save her echoing waves,

her ripples are as silent

as fallen forest trees

when no one is around.

 

Yet, in dreams of memory,

I hear the ghost voices of

ancestors—ghost voices—

bubbling up out of her depths;

ballooning the warm moonlit night

with echoes of laughter issuing from

the buccal cavities of the jumpers.

 

At the next full moon, I shall paddle out—

paddle out—and thread the wetness of this

vast watered graveyard and anchor a wreath

of African violets; whispering late prayers to

the forgotten Middle Passage ancestors.
