Now You See It, Now You Don't

On my nightstand:

Cape Cod is a place

where buried things

surface and disappear again:

wooden lobster pots,

the vertebrae of humpback whales,

chunks of frosted sea glass.

One day there’s nothing; the next

the cyclical forces of nature—

erosion, wind, and tide—

unearth something 

that has been there all along.

A day later, it’s gone.


—Adrienne Brodeur, Wild Game



On my easel:


What has been there all along?


What is gone?


Where's the ebb?


The flow?

Carol, I'm so grateful for and stimulated by your visual-language feedback—thank you!

Oh, and thank you for drawing my attention to the fact that I neglected to include Adrienne's surname—Brodeur—which I've now done.
