TsunamiÂ
The pebbles roll
and wheel,
and blabber in its foreign tongue.
It’s a weedy pitched language,
an unfamiliar voice of
waves pulling
at the beach’s happy aspect.
And then it cackles
with laughter.
Foam dribbles off sleeves of kelp,
unhinged
from the pier,
a wave draws back breath
and swells again.
And then it gurgles death’s rattle,
fighting an ebb retreat,
and seethes.
