Sea



the sea upon its hinges rocks
doom on its hinges swinging to and fro
swilling to the planetary flow
fluorescents of cosignatory pain
may trap him, drown him
those, the siren and the stones
do lend their nodes as markers
on the path to misery or destination

marinated gores afly
upon the air, upon your lasting putrid breath
fly to dusky pandered seas
where dusky fish orate yo name
dull tabored gun of impermanence
fire those fitful shots above the rocking waters
and if death does dissipate his ilk
the fish consume the name and leap in prodigy
he sees in that briny lair
consuming is the sea
