In The Rocks

It was a small gap

in the rocks

dry and bare

for a time

in waiting,

waiting

for the tide

to turn

and the sea

to wash through

to leave it

not quite dry;

a trickle

of salt water

left behind,

salt tears

running down a face,

pooling below

full of life

full of creatures

brought back to life.

Tears can sometimes do that

temporarily.
