<\/span><\/a>I mined this poem from the literary Spring 2014 edition of the journal Ploughshares<\/i>. The poet Tatiana Oro\u00f1o was born in San Jos\u00e9, Uruguay, in 1947. She is the author of several works including La Piedra Nada Sabe<\/i> (Estuario, 2008), Morada m\u00f3vil<\/i> (Artefato, 2004), and Tout fut ce qui ne fut pas\/ Todo tuvo la forma que no tuvo<\/i> (\u00c9scrits des Forges, 2002). <\/span>

I deeply appreciate its simplicity and imagery which evokes a biblical image of the ocean as the realm of chaos and death (see Genesis 1, Psalm 104, Revelation 21).<\/span>

Ocean, there is none<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
Without shipwrecks, without the drowned<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
Without victims<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
there is no<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
              ocean<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
that does not lick the shore<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
              like a sore<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
