The serene sea is a patient anomaly,
so serene I fear there are things unsaid.
The night bitter black when moon hides,
I sense an oppressing evil attributed
                    to dreams.
I hunker down on the sharp rock jetty
sensing what I cannot comprehend.
In my intimate séance a flutter of gulls'
wings, a pure tribute to Poe's Raven.
                    Eyes of fire.
The night's gloom is darkly palatable;
the grist for evil lies beyond truth.
Notwithstanding planet's destructive
abilities, homo sapiens have priority;
                    reasons to kill.
Opening my eyes removes perspective
of self examination; artificial blood
blazing across my forehead is corporal.
Why do I think of woman with
                    ovulating embrace?

Thanks, JL. What? I don't get a hug? Haha!!

They will come back, come back again,
As long as the red earth rolls.
He never wasted a leaf or a tree,
Do you think he would squander souls?
