breathing underwater . . . a vet returns to Norfolk
from the overlook wind flowers
the tufted marsh reeds
reefed by crab dunes as undertows weep
the shoreline
into uncertainty
salt scouring illusion
low clouds turn gray fraught with green mist
caught in an upswell
from heavy surf
and the rumble of distant lightening
surges like pulse
in deepening seabed churn
breath underwater bursts sand bleeds blistering
