  • Quote

    She had begun to bake to have her eyes looking at a bowl, a flour bin, an oven, a fire, a face, anything but water. Her hands shaped loaves like scallop shells, like moon shells, like starfish; she ate them as if she ate the sea, to make it part of her, to transform bone to shell and lose herself in it, eyeless, thoughtless, wrapped in memories and anchored on some hoary rock against the currents of the deep.

    THE SEA In my room by the seashore,I can tell without going to the windowThat the boats sailing outside Are carrying a cargo of watermelons. Just the way I used to.The sea likes to hold its mirrorAcross the ceiling of my room:It likes to make me angry. The smell of seaweedAnd the fishing-ground poles pulled ashoreRemind the children who live by the seaOf nothing at all.
