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.
