Over Each

Despite each thought-writ year

marriage can, like poetry, concern the sea,

religious in pattern's flex,

iambic forerunner to revolution.

And early love, a debate, a con,

looks towards the lights of ought

(ultra and un-calm, the tide is touch).

Whatever metaphysical might is

grating pebbles of sadness at the young?
