Jody Zolli

Sea rhythms call
The liturgic thump – sigh – pause
Lush, frayed, and resounding

Dancing million minnows
Flash and flicker slickly
On the path of moonlight

Recessive rhythm ebbs
Bright encroaching creature
Clasping urgent unknown shores

Giant’s grimace turns to sighs
To writhe and rise
Between cove’s thighs

Would that I could waltz
That rhinestone-studded carpet
Laid by the full and fragrant August moon
