Unconditional Confusion
The days are short,
but it’s alright.
The pool is warm,
violets, red and blue.
The sky is filled
with
haze.
I float away the
hours -- minutes rise
to the western wind.
My eyes are puffy
from the chlorine
I
Soak in.
I close my eyes to see
a black tarmac road,
endless through a
dusty field, sun scorched
and itchy, my
skin hot
and red.
Slipping down under
to soften the irritation
I drop a cinder anchor
to remain in place;
time remains
one smiling
face alone in
that silent abyss.
