Momentarily

powerful ocean wave at mar del plata argentina
The ocean spray,
the sunbathers,
the girl chasing
bubbles, the jellyfish
washed ashore,
the fossilized sand
dollar: all jostle
each other to support
the larger vista,
and I am bombarded
like a molecule
until the whole matters
more than my being
alone.
