Graneledone boreopacifica

The first eggs of spring melt hope

Into a burden –

Coins trodden into

The sword edge of the

Bed.

Buried thick beneath.

Salt and sand.

Forgotten.

For eternity.

Words-

mouth, open �O�

___________________

Too tired to sleep.

Too lost to find.

Too sore to ache

But aching still.

___________________

And relentless the voice

Of man.

Circling –

Like a frenzied shark

Mocking, passive aggressive

Ego bound –

Waiting to devour.

______________________

Brought to the knees

Of the cave.

Drip fed alive

By the moon.

Please.

Just stop.

Stop,

Please.
