For Katie

The indentured line
of sky and land and
the running colors—
blue, pink, gray,
some faint underyellow;

the night rushing
slowly and the trees
falling and catching
themselves in soughing
wind; the ocean sends

somethings out always
with each swell crash
the spray rises and 
somethings contained
leap out, spittle

and sand send sand
upon sand, water and water
and sky and land and
the joining line running
into darker dark and

into square light where
we write, tickety-tack.
So many things to do.
(I love you!)
