Sea dreams
by Kevin Wallace

We listen while the wind roars like the sea
Pushing against the glass windows insistently
probing at the edges of our sleep whistling at
What dreams come with forgetting


the wind roars like the sea but
the sea has no memory…

no memory of the days we spent as kids
building sandcastles with plastic spades…
no memory of love made and lost in waves

no memory of the whales taken from the deep…
no memory of the storms that sank ships in their wrath…
no memory of the moon and its draw on the tides
no memory of the reflections it throws back…

no memory of the dreams we loose in the deep,
on the edges of sleep, as the wind roars incessantly,
and forgetfully-no, the sea has no memory.
