Why All Things Began Moving

We are all just the first wave

living itself over after crest 

death of collapse, so addicted 

to that initial heave up throw your

drenched self to complete the circle it was.

All life is haunted by the fact that a wave

only exists once but wants to come back,

so it did, it does, as spectral spray wetting

to peak every day, just in different ways.

Or did we all bear witness to the first wave

& feel inspired so we began to tumult

flesh through crash dynamics that cleave

us back to the drag, a lag. Stand up human!

Now pitch forward again, again, again. Do

not worry about drowning because the wet

is trapped inside of us as metronome of bone.

Whatever the ignition, one day movement 

began moving & we’ve been tired ever since.
