Embedded

Like dirt trapped in pores

like curse words frozen in cement

intertwined with dust and bread crumbs

and avian feathers

when I lay my pores

upon my feather filled pillows

all the separated thoughts of the sun

re-embed as my sweat embeds

with the cotton of my bed

reminding me that the divide

doesn’t exist

when the black tsunamis roll up

after each sunny earthquake

the salt will always

dig into the crevices of the rocks

at least turning daggers into sea glass.
