Time Catches Us Up, Small Lives, Fish

Diamond Head Beach Park, Oahu, day
after day I descend the rough path
to study the tidepools — rocky sandy
shallow bays — what holds air soon enough
holds water, glimmering streaks of fish
then no fish, no beneficiary proves them
no record of life or death, swim or flail
however many fish are left behind, more
follow, gold & silver charms tracking
a Mobius strip — life, death — one fish
