HARBOUR WAVE
The tsunami doesn’t stop to ask people
About their beliefs.
Neither does the mountain stream quiz the rocks
On their opinions,
On its way to the sea.
To be as hollow as we can
Signifies least resistance to the waves of life.
Be slippery, be pliant
That way the path is easy.
Every last morsel can only be devoured,
Or it has a habit of devouring you.
