The surf retreats
in its #distantwake
only to reverse course
and go again and again
reaching the sand
extend farther with the tide
but it cannot stay there
it always has to return

The surf retreats
in its #distantwake
only to reverse course
and go again and again
reaching the sand
extend farther with the tide
but it cannot stay there
it always has to return
are we born twice?
where do we go?
the drops that rise
to peak and fall
back to the sea
ripples to waves
the fish that ride
the #distantwake
An arrow of fire
From the distant wake, sombre
Viking funeral.
