Move carefully between
\nthe hard and soft, my love.
\nIf you touch a stone
\nit may shiver,
\nand fall in love with you.
\nYou never know
\nhow love begins,
\nbut it does.
\nInsensates touch
\nfalling into each other.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow a great wave rises,
\nrogue off Africa.
\nFrom the calmness of the sea,
\nwith no intent
\nsinks a ship.
\nNo one knows why,
\nbut it does.<\/p>\n
Is it emptiness finding emptiness?
\nIntent, roused from sleep?
\nLove at first sight, the sightless?
\nWith everything and anything.
\nWith us.
\nWith stones.
\nA giant wave.
\nA stone that shivers.
\nWhy not?
\nIt doesn\u2019t happen,
\nbut it does.<\/p>\n
Note: The Draupner wave, a single giant wave, measured on Year\u2019s Day, 1995, confirmed the existence of freak waves, previously considered near-mythical.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
