Untitled (code)

Before the code is
light whisps of hair stuck
between <>s held tight
breathing in reply

Force of the waves to be guessed at
message unknown but received
sands pulled back, into the sea
shoreline decreased
a punch erased but boiling

A person or a place or a plant
eight million things happen today
on a graph in a chart on a board
and you among all the variables
are finally accounted for
