By the Shore
(for Benjamin Britten, December 4, 1976)
Waves are for counting,
as once before a time
an ebb and flow, a come and go
another and another day,
as waters rummage
rib to rib the place between
his mulchy bones; till
yes or no in a breath
will maybe come? if some
or other, or other or now
will wake or break
most any old thing, till
in the beginning the poem
is and done.
