Gone From the Boat, Far From the Ocean 6

He seemed like
a single stone
a pebble

silent intensity
singular and alone
on this beach we all share

spread wide on the sand
water so salty
washing over and over us

the sun eventually sinking into it
and he is gone

lost to us
his whole world of stone
sunken

never to be shown
by moonlight, sunlight,
or glowing fishes at night
