Another Day
far at sea
in the violent turn
of the waves and silence—
and out there somewhere
the shores of home
*
images
built in mist—
footprints
on the journey home
*
winds
and roots torn up—
covered in the dress
of a fallen queen
*
one blow
and then I’m down—
fallen to
the lightless depths
between the now
of life and eternity
*
one and then
the other—
sinking like Cleopatra
