This poem takes the hours of high and low tide on the Mayan Peninsula during a two-week stretch as its line lengths (# of words corresponding to the 24 hour clock). Through the lens of the sea, it tries to track the affective experience of labor from Mexico to Dubai in the bodies of my family members who were making that roundtrip in 2009.
