Kelp

A pause in the coil and surge — not quite long enough to take a breath — then another swell arrives and the kelp weaves and unwinds like poor Ophelia’s sinuous hair, hypnotic and compelling. A warning and an invitation.

And there — the shattered stone, and the foam and froth, and the pastel swell, and the insistent tide, and the oyster taste in the air. In that interlude between one swell receding and next arriving, there is the certainty that we came from the sea.

And the sea will always remind us.
