Driftwood

 

is lifeless, yet restless.

Lifeless, yet nurtures life

mussels, barnacles, sand verbena.

 

Driftwood dots the beach

with fires that spark blue, green,

hotter than live wood.

 

Rootlessness is not poverty,

even dead wood has a purpose.

Cast up on your strand,

I will burn for you.
