Here are directions
so we can meet again. Washed
up like Ulysses,
I’m not sure how I
got here. Starting from zero,
I was born again.
That it is at all
is the wonder of it. I’ll
show you around. It
has charm. High white caps
churn toward the shore. Gulls twist
in the wind. I sleep
well. Being broken
or broken open makes
a big difference.
