SURF

                                        telar de plata
                                        tejiendo playas
                                        el oleaje


                                        --Ramon Dachs


and waves                    pounding
                    sending aftershocks
                    up the sand
waves                    dissolving in-
                    to sheets of foam revealing
                    more and more earth and air

          and the years pound away
time       overtaking      and receding
          dissolving      in darkness
                    in daylight

and the breaking waves
reaching out to grasp
                        and returning
                    returning                  to grasp again

falling away        with golden erosion
                    also depositing more of the same
                    different           sameness

                    and waves              pounding
learning          and forgetting
          forgetting          and learning
how little it is we all know
                    how much we may feel
          yet still somehow we manage to get by

all of us
