Cauterized

water from the raw eye as it weeps

and deflects the spectrum,

no space in the retina

for other emotion,

bland skin

freckles intensified,

being close to the coast

and it’s relentless tides

abstract dunes,

naked and innate expression

stress brought on

she moved,

each impression on the surface

was not left for long

filled in she had no path,

emotion bent over anvil

forged by loss,

wind became rampant

stirring grasses

that whipped about delicate legs

isolating her innocence

this way,

beneath the flat clouded hat of sky,

rubbing those eyes

now tasted

with tincture of seaborne salt

this moment

came to bring on the rejuvenate

banner

sunday whirl
