Furies
 
By Catherine Daly

 

 
The grinding water forcing rocks’ collision
pushes detritus, tosses spares.
No Atlantics are microcosms.
Nor are they minor characters
spun off in another season of quahogs
for more angry dresses and rattling
plated shell-strung bracelets
of the merely well-to-do.
Sucking ocean fury holds banks
to erode them, spirals like insurance rates,
explodes to prove death sneaks.

 

Pg09
