Do whales beach themselves because
the idea of land is a gene-memory
tucked away in every cell? Driven mad
by the scent of lavender and verbena,
do they swim up on land hoping to find
that sad garden? Are their songs a recitation
of the love suicide of their original pair,
who threw themselves into the sea
but rather than die were changed by water?
Are their long migrations a search
for that cliff, that rocky shore?
