Caged Coastlines

Caged coastlines
None more sad
Than sequestered sand
Manicured and abandoned
Restlessly reflecting the moonlight
Guarded against the machinations of men
For what?

Nothing more soothing
Tranquil and organic
Than a wet beach at night
Soles damp and caked with sand
Dancing along the edge of evolution
Swells make waves meet rocks for eternity

One ceaseless unfathomable entity teems with life
Bringing death
Erosion eats
Adds mass to its gurgling stomach
Without understanding satisfaction

Violence on this end of the phone
Placid code bounces off satellites
The unseen is always preferable
When reverberations finally come to kill

Angry like the agreed upon faces of its creator and its children
Flexible in its dormancy
Harboring the worst
For one big blowout

You try to cage us
But you are foolish
Our fingers extend to lengths you cannot comprehend
