my was, at the times
* place’ ‘shown * ‘ beginning of *
where roared, , as a distant
‘the ocean * ‘above’ * pulse’
I drank salt
found the centre
of thousand violet petals
unmoved by the depths of d e c a y
only
when I
am pressed
against the ocean floor
will my rigid shell be released
the b l a c k n o i s e illuminated and silenced
