Rocky Valentine

Only the heavy tide of the senses
Which washes in on us
And then in sleep draws back
 
Uncovering the rocky shore
Of its hidden life
Open for exploration
 
What from the great sea
We have brought back
From the stand-still of thought
 
Pools of sea urchins
And stranded clams
Closing like eyes
 
In the shadowy light of another sun
The inner cries
Of a thousand gulls
