The Drifting

Invisible planes
          take down invisible
                   predators
But we hear a rumble
          above the ocean
                   roar

Sand blows like spores
          from the feet of
                   the people
Rushing to the surf
          sunset
                   pearl

Lights on the dock
         as Catalina rides
                  the burning
The horizon isn't ours to touch
        the lilac waves are veils
                  from what's beyond

What's moving
        but never
                  really known
Some surfers and some birds
       emerge in black like spots
                  upon a celluloid

The stories to be made
       are churning
Low light provides
       some shadow and some sun
The action is as real as
        our belief will make it be
Which is only what we know
        of what we see

So glimmers
       take the place of worlds
