At Sea - June 8, 2000
A sudden coldness grasps me
and the pain twists inside
so that breathing is
now an option
as opposed
to being
a necessity.
And like a cool stilletto
the words carve a neat line
through the fog.
And carefully
I pour the words,
the thoughts,
onto a white page.
And watch them sail
like so much flotsam
into the sea
- where it struggles
to stay afloat
only
to sink
once more.
