by Laura Cesarco Eglin

Your lines in the poetry book you lent me were the only
ones that kept me there: the traces of thick blue pencil.
Porous, breathing, the sea. Underlines, undertones,
undercurrent. What becomes independent of the surface.
What else exists more beautifully if marked by another?
