My Untouchable Face

The effortless nature of the unreliable narrator

If the horn would blow, the foam would rise,
the wave would fall,
loss would begin;
if the shell could sound, the air would move,
Love would step from the sea:
but the horn will not blow, and the foam will not rise,
not in this
sad idyll,
not on this desolate shore
on which you have never arrived,
and which now you will never leave.
