Scoop of the Flux
By Charles Pierre
A breaker tumbles
into the shallows,
with onshore thrust
and muscling splash
that toss skyward
a long yellow kelp,
glazed with water
and stretched to
a string of lights,
sparkling in midair,
at the sea’s peak
an instant, until
falling with a flicker
into blurred spillage
of surf, vanishing
as soon as seen
in dark backwash
of the undertow.
