Shoreline

Reveal the light of the lake,
its relationship to the sky, its shape
wobbles moving down the edge of a knife.
Ultraviolet sinks into the warm black sand,
flat as linen. The beach throbs like a heart.
With each wave moments are marked.
Light recedes from shoreline slowly,
rolling back, line by line. Ripples
drag back and forth over velvet
The water is so bright!
