the ocean is a backdrop





the ocean is a backdrop
magnifying whatever artifice
they can suggest served by
even light and air

i was like that once
exhilarated with the possibilities
of every illusion or dream 
i could conjure

i am still like them
my methods have become
more subtle and cunning 
with some resignation

i am not free of whatever
springboard i vaunted 
everything becomes ocean
deep measure

it consumes all of us 
this freedom
