THE UTTERED HAND

Duane Locke

The unappeasement of an under-glanced
Summer bought an empty, silent cry.
Sea gulls raucous in flight, reaffirmed on sand,
As if the sea flowers that touched the diving wings
Stayed on their bodies as the feathers dried.
There will be no return of the light
That intensified the darkness that slid
Over the sand dunes, the light that could
Have browned the hand that could have reached
Toward nearness, instead of being still, uttered.
