water ripples
sun sets
clay holds me together
I lie awake - the darkness
at the bottom of the ocean
plots with my demons
I ask the past to forget
but its echoes are forever singed
The future, she improves
as I tread upon this clay sand
and become enchanted with her sky,
breathe in the peach indigo sunset -
become a part of her permanent beauty,
swim in her glory, and forgive her mystery.
The sunset reflects its tangerine light
upon my shaking legs, the legs that
have arrived in the present
and are scared.
