Briny Waters Poem by Michael O'Sullivan

Briny Waters



The briny waters lose dissolving salt
Then flit in expectation for the taste

That will, in taking, mask their own default.
The tongue in savour pluralizes choice

Creates an end the waters cannot know
The consequence the echo of its noise.

And, when transformed, metabolism dies,
When thrown beyond the effect of its sphere

What salt shall know what saltiness implies?
