An illustration for the story Ebb by the author Edna St. Vincent Millay — Jon Sullivan, Small tidepool in San Diego, CA

     I know what my heart is like
       Since your love died:
     It is like a hollow ledge
     Holding a little pool
       Left there by the tide,
       A little tepid pool,
     Drying inward from the edge.
