Silently, I wait for the thundering waves to ease Looking past to the soft spot between the sky and sea A shape blurring, collapsed bone, asking to be set free Heartbeat tuned in, melded ship bows reaching overseas Cast out to harbor on the shores of pirates Looted ruby pomegranate cut open, bleeding crimson Warmed ache spreading deep into a fleeting season Hope cast on stilled sails, weary and delicate Reflected in presence, disguised as care held up by boredom Swells of a storm brewing, set on a layer dusted in rosy sight Breaking like shards of shooting stars weary of sunlight I collect at twilight to scatter in dawn’s freedom.
Its dew - wrapped in blades of breaths, catch and release Breaking you apart in a calm sea, no longer my centerpiece.
