By the Puget Sound / By the Salish Sea

 It might take fifty years for the waves
to turn clear glass cloudy white,

unmistakable as platinum blond hair
in photos from 1936 when Grandma Dagmar

looked like Jean Harlow as she discarded
broken milk bottles that I might find

and piece together into a ghost or new moon.
