Not Brownian Motion

A story may float a sea
for a while, a shadow
separated from its life,
buoyed by waves
until it is fractioned
into particulates and
subject to an action
that is not Brownian Motion.
They are not invisible,
these drowned tales;
a fragment can be caught,
bent and remembered,
by light.
They are not random;
each movement
has been nudged
by another, but known, and
under the will of the other,
a direction of slow diffusion
where hope lies
in the promise of a shore.
And it is true
that sometimes hope deceives,
applies a fire, urges kinesis
and we leap into loss:
the ocean is full
of the migration of tragedies.
