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.

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.
