You Should Write Fierce Little Poems about Waves and Weather

Ocean overruns the globe,
Wrote Melville, not intending
To be prophetic. Byatt

Quoted him, meaning to be
Probably more ominous,
Given her tale concluded

With sempiternal nurdles.
Can we make ourselves fiercer?
Can we rescue our weather?

Across the lake, late sun glows.
Everything’s a wave, every
Wave requires both crest and lull,

However fierce, however
Small, but, summed, it’s all so much.
Ocean overruns the globe.
