The Search for Distance. Poem by Njörð P. Njarðvík.
The sand on the beach
The sand on the beach is patient.
On calm days he waits for the waves
in dry softness
gives way grain by grain
dissolves
in a steady, pounding suction
washed back into a continuous whole
in wet softness
that allows your soles to make their mark
deep grooves
In the days of rushing winds
he lets the surf beat him
in a coastal shell
which hardened under the impact of the messages
until it breaks from its own hardness
When lies again
he slips away in gentleness
and rinse slowly
over your tracks
The sand on the beach
The sand on the beach is patient.
On calm days he waits for the waves
in dry softness
gives way grain by grain
dissolves
in a steady, pounding suction
washed back into a continuous whole
in wet softness
that allows your soles to make their mark
deep grooves
In the days of rushing winds
he lets the surf beat him
in a coastal shell
which hardened under the impact of the messages
until it breaks from its own hardness
When lies again
he slips away in gentleness
and rinse slowly
over your tracks
