The crab’s song of fatherhood

Call accident, call out
the words in claw-clatter to child
and set those words running
to the wild, the escape
of voice-in-mineral away
from sound__ the sign
greater than explosion
of rough whine of throat.

Call error, call out
that sentence in wave-water to son,
what taken by the tide
will have begun erosion
of the land in denial,
and the stone of beach
will argue to sand and drift
on watch to growing cliffs.
