Rough Water

Swept, clean

in the arms of the wind

like water through my fingertips,

looking down a waterfall...

 

It is cradled and crafted by the

hands of my heart

wrapped in a warm soft sweater of memories

 

Clouds overcast my thought, pregnant with

needles, raining on my skin, the air smells of rust;

it's swelling and choking me, it poisoned my sleep...

 

Then like a beautiful symphony heard once,

it is gone. A meal digested.

Like a violin solo, like a dreary concerto, a eulogy stuck

in my head,

 

my chest is anchored. My blood flows slowly.

 

You'll find me, still hoisting the sail,

braving the glaciers, the Krakens,

 

but who would stay to join me in these seas?
