Pythagoras's Trousers
I do not know where the seagulls nest,
where they find peace.
I am like them
in perpetual flight.
I brush against life
as they do the water to catch food.
And like perhaps they also love the stillness,
the great marine stillness,
but my destiny is to live
darting through the storm.
