earth note 690


koh samui 1988

for now the water is calm
lie on your back
you are closer to the equator
than you realize
a compass is only an instrument
by dawn the sea will open
like an extended hand
you'll suddenly find sunrise
it won't be like yesterday
or the week before
the waves pitch unique angles
on every floating body

for now the water is calm
