Sea Glass

Along the rocks by the sea
he dangled me:
I, faceted glass contraption
laughing in the light

Turning to seabird call
he let me fall
I, love concocted in glass
splintering in the sun

To the forgotten seabed
was I wed
I, many-mirrored star-shards
shining holes to heaven

Past the edge of the sea
He came for me
I, barnacled bits re-gathered
weeping in the light
