Following European tourists in thongs
Saw ripple marks set in stone
Traces of the Devonian Ocean
Thrust up through continental drift
To form rocky outcrops
For photo opportunities
Before our first anniversary
You lay in a bed fouled by tubes
One breast less than my wife
As if life had turned into a shark
And taken a chunk out of your chest
Another scar on the earth
Revealing its violent struggle to be
