It’s all here.
Swollen whale tongue, sandcaked and sunripe,
split open with estuary blessing to sweet rot
Chewing on philosophy at the surf break,
primordial parable gutted and horizon-blind
car in drive
pistol river
one more poem about the view from the guardrail
An exit wound through a fogbank
hulking carcass on the coastline
wet feet, patched wetsuit and porch haircut
dumb mammal preserved in salt
