Rollers

We two are from the coast.
While we were still in embryo,
fog horns tuned our ears.

Far from this place of origin we languish,
but hasten here from spell to spell.

We pack the wagon lightly,
and feed the engine horses ethanol,
and ankle deep, wade in.

We talk the talk of couples
and of gulls bound to the reappear.
