the sea has become silent

the sea has become silent
not able to contain all the storms
that come riding on the rivers
that drain into its arms
to dissolve
to resolve or
to absolve
it of all the sins
of having allowed so many
rivers to embrace its shores
and be one with
its core
the salty sublimate
of the tears
it gathered
from all the corners of the earth
salty tear
salty sea
sweat river
why do the arms of the sea
quiver
