airplane streams
airplane streams and my eyes closed
the repetition of the metallic shell
supines to the sand floor
the distant traffic hovers through my ears
and shores the reverbing hum of the motor wave
like this industrial breathing
the seabirds sway past like silhouettes
they impress the foundries of light below
while my eyelids closed
daguerrotypes with out silver breath
wipe out its chrome and galvanized stones
and sun shone its yellow gold
and sand(ra) lifts her liquid house
and constructs her castles with thremos cups
what a day
