Salt Farm - March 18 2023

 

Salt Farm

March 18 2023


The salt

tastes of the sea

from which it's drawn.


You'd think water was all the same;

that it's all one ocean,

the blue

on the map of the world.


But this is only the surface

and we are blind to its depths.

Cupped in your hand, transparent,

and in the deep abyssal trench

black;

cold, sunless, airless.


At best, comparison —

tastes like, reminds me of.

But melting on your tongue

singular;

named

for its meroir,

its place, in the 3 dimensions.


As well as time.

Taste again

when the tide comes in.
