Tidal Bride

Jono Subers

Bride catching tidal-bride
Salt-soaked and tie undone
Dropping net and hook for easy bridle
Tidal guide and leading blind
Far from shore with lanterns lit
'Til summer comes with tidal low
When home is built and price is paid
And threshold crossed with grainy hem
Harvest dripping, dipping fingers into bridal cake
For Kingdom comes
When King comes home
Salt-soaked and Sunday-best
Riding tide and right on time


Jono Subers
