~Watercolor Mirror~


  ~delicate & impassioned~
  ~trees in the ocean forest~
  ~sway madly in the water wind~
  ~long for a taste of the moon~

~fin winged creatures fly~
  ~perform aqua aerobatics~
  ~cling to a singular darting motion~
  ~clouds in a liquid sky~

~some deep & forgiven~
  ~dwell in a land of lesser angels~
  ~whose sin was eyes~
  ~& sea the less~

~this nature of lottery~
  ~its thin needle of faith~
  ~rewards the aggressor~
  ~in a tangle-web of numbers~

    ~the march of the heavens~
  ~pulls hair from all trees~
  ~excites an ebb & flow of blood~
  ~in a sweep of timeless tide~

Picture
~Like A Tear~

~face dark as silt~
  ~high water crashing~
  ~cascading down~
  ~yellow/white~
  ~red vein showing~
  ~tide rolls in smooth~
  ~liquid saline blanket~
  ~lids blink~
  ~reveal eyes of mud~
  ~a white worm crawls through~
  ~falls across the cheek~
  ~like a tear~

~thick lips grimace~
  ~create a parody of a grin~
  ~teeth whiter than white~
  ~ivory columns~
  ~part and a pink snake leaps out~
  ~seizes the falling morsel~
  ~and bears it home~
  ~like a tear~
  ~like a hostage~
  ~like a promise~
  ~protesting genesis~

~the pearl white gates fall~
  ~as the tide flows back~
  ~eyes slam shut~
  ~then open~
  ~yellow/white~
  ~vein broken~
  ~red blood drips~
  ~down an ebony cheek of sand~
  ~like a tear~
  ~like a river become man~

~lightning arcs shiver~
  ~destroy the fabric of the sky~

~an insignificant mound of sand~
  ~rises up~
  ~shouts curses unheeded~
  ~to the heavens~
  ~fear is born in the mud of its eyes~
  ~thunder breaks~
  ~the man thing falls down~
  ~it has come to pray~
  ~to be carried away~
  ~like a tear~
  ~like a promise of nations~
