becoming ocean (cf. John Luther Adams)

pentatonic potency  
Pacific
Atlantic
Arctic
Indian
Southern
a note for every sea
swelling                ebbing
piano harp marimba arpeggios
strings
shimmering        on           surface
then blow old triton
your horn harmony rising
riding the tides of the five note scale
and then
down again
to the
stillest
of still
peace    on           surface
to billow up again and again
mesmerized
I close eyes and
I am again in Crete
float on back
warm blue water lapping skin
head back           barely                   breathing
becoming
