Translucent
skylark song
calling out to the wall it does not know
fooled by the glass echoes
it cannot escape
chained by sightless hope
gazing through
that which looks it in the eye
there is no glass
there is no glass
but
there always has been
you never did notice?
did the bird never fly?

The Lizard
the lizard lay
motionless
not dead,
just content
soaking in the golden rays
bathing in the summer warmth
nestled soundly
atop his rock
eyeing the rising sun
and minding the heat
sure to follow
soon to drain the life from his limbs
dry the life
from his domain
and soon, each breath

Silent Cacophonies
left unperturbed
blind,
althought content

Shorebreak
the waves, with their
inviting rhythm
unwavering in their steady assault
offering solace in the overwash
they will beat you senseless
throw you around without a
secound thought
like a doll
ragged, aching
the waves, with their
impregnable rhythm
neither merciful nor sudden

The Fire
you lay numb
hypotherminc, dying
the fire, it dances
taunting, flickering, in and out
like hope
hope that it may help
help to that your frozen fingertips
slow your chattering teeth
soothe, ebb the icy grasp of the violent, pulsing
piercing burning
that is your fear and your doubt and denial
the drowning, whispering, screaming
wave that comes crashing

Water
you are drowning
swim, I know you can
you don't realize
the water
it will kill you
it already has
for, why don't you scream?
fight
but your voice is lost
not even
the bubbles
reach the surface
