Face to face
one end of the bridge from another
the sun makes a gory display in the western sky
wearing over applied mascara
you are now facing east
toward the Atlantic
Sounds . . .
the ocean
the wind
the heart
unresolved issues
lapping at our ankles
too lightly to demand our attention
Smells
the ocean
salt
fear
unreleased tension
rustles through your hair
you leave it disheveled
turning toward me you smile
like looking into the eyes of
a dead flounder
a thunderclap of realization
this is no time to fish but to . . .

Roger,
Such a real moment between two people. Feels very serious, as if they're about to break things off. Great sounds and tone to this write. Hugs~

Cut bait?
Very "visual" poem. It was a pleasure for the senses but painful for the heart.
Nicely done. |
