Noah Dversdall
All last night I was up thinking what sound
a trillion pounds of ice would make when it fell in the water,
(ice crack | no ice smack | no ice clack
no ice clap | no ice slap | no ice snap | no ice noise
I wouldn't hear it
but no, cold whispers | chill wave
lap along the coast
no
quiet breeze and a sail
soft-taut in it no
light | no light | no light
landing | no light shudder | no shudder
no ice quake | no ice shake | no
I shiver thinking)
but no, I don't understand
but no, understand me,
understand me, it's too dark to see
but I want to hear the ocean rise.
