that cardboard satchel
you tote so jaunty
collects shavings
of memories
stones and dust.
And what would you catch
if bravery were not absent?
perhaps lakewater and scales,
mudcakes and pigeon eggs
a pebble in a nude boot—
your eyes are pearlized;
they haven't forgotten
the fishy treasures of the sea.
