6

Silent sand symbols scrawled--
roar of rocks, water, air

5

An ocean filled with
sounds, running to the edges
on any given page

4

Bodies on beaches, faces on mass transit:
I see brithmarks I don't wish to see.

3

Is it the words or
The pictures in the spaces
Between our buzzing ears?

2

Images running one in-
to the other, borderless

Always the new: first,
sharp graffiti on a train.
Then, a blur speeding past.
