Paper falls and disappears,
and still the weather roars.
I hear the wind and attempt again,
but only futile waves crash against my shores.

. . . crumbling, tumbling, scratching, crashing,
      ink, deep . . .

The low growl reverberates in the vast basin of my mind
as I stare at a fresh sheet—
      clean and ready for a tsunami.
