Light Before Wind
Before the wind takes everything, the sea and sky rehearse a terrible, radiant calm.

The Poem The barometer forgets to argue.
Water lies down like linen.
Something is gathering its breath
far out where the light goes soft.
Birds have already read the letter.
We watch the horizon lean.
What is coming has a name
and no mercy in it.
Still—look how the swell shines,
gold before the grey,
a held note
before the storm remembers us.
