Surf
Child noise in deep sleep
As the glass drops old sleep
Surrogate heartbeat
Of the lost or the missed
Ancient clock ticking between bells
Ageless clock spawning new moments
Each after the other
Numbingly similar
Exquisitely unique
Robbing from the deep
Enriching the not-sea
Then dragging the helpless or the hapless beneath
Then again
n’again
N’again
n’again
N’again
