to escape danger, so nostalgic...

What of A Pearl?The wonders of a salted spec,
an intruder of the calm,
slip secretly by slightest surge
into some open being, drawn.

Hidden from the human eye,
perfect forming of a pearl.
Some...

Morning Reservation
Everything seems to fit
into this morning's
vast mosaic as if each
piece has been shaped
to occupy a given place.
Even the broken sea shells
that first appeared redundant,
strewn haphazardly
along the beach
now give pause and interest
to the...

I just go with the flow.
I have many dark secrets,
No one will ever know.

I keep pushing each arm to abide,
as I gain on the water,
with nowhere left to swim,

The Human Particleedges are better felt
beneath the skin

bruises into bone
like folds of water
through which the mind lurks
in naked silence
