flottle
and sea breathes louder,
out in creeds of spume, gulls in
squabble for full stops.
you wish you were up there, all
warm updrafted and
weightless. oceans — who draws the
dotted lines? found a
bottle once, flung off Cape Town,
read the message, but
scrawl of weed said more. does sand
tire of this rush then
suck? "flottle" — best word for it,
while tonight, moon brushed orange,
in no mood for rhyme
