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 has priority and 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. Why men seek out their weaknesses, and back themselves into savage traps, when the toughness of man can profit; but sits alone, unused and discarded? Man up. I read once that the Beast will come from the sea. In the Bible the sea means the body of politics. I'm starting to wonder if maybe that isn't true. Look around. Solitude. The moon has left for good. I'm saddened. Can the night's shroud cause my misery to fade into naught? The pull of the undercurrent of thought. Tugs at me. Sitting here, alone, my thoughts free, nostalgia should come a-knocking remembering all the foul deeds once was mine. Yet I only look to the now. Past annulled. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |
