I.
 
The horizon
a line of light
with sun poured
onto water dispersing.
 
Oval glimmers tip waves
shimmer toward shore
riding in the tide
as if flashing out a message.
 
II.
 
From lookout wet rock top
light line draws the horizon into being
separates sky from sea
pours like white ink
flashes bob across wave peaks
shimmer toward shore
most capsize as the tide arrives
but the few remaining
flicker their bright message
as ocean’s fireflies.
