Withdrawing - May 30, 2000

In a shroud of darkness
I lumber
like a mockery to grace
and
under the cover of no stars
I appear
like the remnants of a flood
unwanted
and unneeded.

And like the tides
I recede
into the shallows,
trapped
in a pool of water

And slowly
I withdraw
until
all that is left,
are faint rings of salt.
