On Finding an Ancient Shard

Look

on the rock

an ancient shard

lip of a water jug

incised with a wave

carved by a woman

over two thousand

years of waves

ago

scanning

the Aegean Sea

pining for

her son

who

never came

home.

Dedicated to refugees who are right now crossing a sea of waves, from Turkey to Greece.
