The Harbour

the fact is the falling.

the dream is the tree

— Lucille Clifton

1. Always the same coast, always the same sea

When I look out the train window there are whales inside the waves. When I touch the surface, the sea pulls away. When the whales reach the shore, I run. When I look into their eyes, they blink. I call out for help but no one answers. I try to cover their bodies with my own body. I try to drag the sea back over them. The fact is the running. The dream is the sea.
