This Poetic Sea

a free verse poem

Image by cocoparisienne from Pixabay

Inside this calcified shell my body bends like liquid

complex thoughts and flowery verb are not enough to entertain

I must let the salt slide free the winding spirit inside of me

but all is for naught if you are lost in the transcription

poetry is a languid motion an inner discourse without translation

I am all foot and drag and sand across the vast sea-floor

vision is nothing without insight nothing without metaphor, without sound

bubbles rise, plump with imagery but lost, so lost without you
