FOAM STRAY by JOSEPH AUSLANDER

Poet Analysis

First Line: SHE WEARS WHITE LIKE A WAVE
Last Line: SET ON A WHITE SEA.
Subject(s): SEA; WAVES; OCEAN;
She wears white like a wave;
When she steps a blue
Glitter strikes you through;
Her eyes are grey and grave
And pitifully brave.

I have seen her feet drift
Like water moving on a rock:
Shift and grope over and shift,
Then stop stock
Still with a shock.

Earth troubles her: she
Is Thetis drenched white
With white gold sea light;
Her heel should be
Set on a white sea.
