Adagio Ocean

John Feaster

Below the cliffs, Irish winter
blows each wave soft and white.

As far as you care to look, Earth
rolls past the ocean a dark marble
brushing a blue disk.

Hear me out: that which you call
the soul casts shadows.

I could tell you they lengthen
into ships that cross the sea: yet
they never make it.

I could tell you they are immortal: yet
they never live through the night.

From the center of my eye
the sky opens a great chasm over
the ocean:

dark rain pours down onto a splintered
surface. A single shadow teeters,
tips in, and is gone.
