Relativity

Relativity

Two stones
Standing in the sea
They watch each other
as the tide flows out
They watch
as the tide flows in
Ebb and flow

The boats,
the birds,
the fishFlow east,
then west
Water rises and falls
on thier skirts of seaweed

Sometimes,
when the fog closes in,
And they are all alone,
They dance
Swaying
ebbSwaying
flowBowing,
swaying,
reaching out for each other
Neap and flood
They dance
