The waters are like a widow’s hair, black and lustrous
with lost foam of tears salted to rime, the ocean weeps
for her husband sky, now blackened with the rot of
night, for it is only when his sun is a coin in the sky
that mourning waters light with warmth, each day
the seas cry for sky’s death, and hang the moon up
as a gravestone resplendent for his yellow eye.
