Pray for Surf

We stand navel-deep in the never-tired sea

in the old sea , the so-old sea - volcano-bellied, bird-headed sea!

We see her quiet bones, the bones of the sea

sink till they're dark and starless

From the sunroom-sized whale skull to the urchin's brailled bowl

they all will sink until they are dark and starless starless starless

And when they reach and return to us they are the beach that burns beneath us

pushing onto shore like cement being poured

we waited and we prayed it, we pray for surf

Don't forget you're made of earth, son

and earth is water, three parts to one - deep-dark water

you are dark, dark, deep, dark three parts to one

Don't forget to pray for surf, son
