November 9: What Grabs You

 Skeletal fingers,

chalky

in the dying brine

clutch at the water:

whited columns

in a graveyard to be.

We ignore those clutching hands

heedlessly.

They say all that has touched 

the tide

some time 

will be claimed

by the tide

again, someday--

and I know it's true

however far inland

you try to

get away.

What made you

grabs you in

the end.
