off to sea

 off to sea


to beach a memory bequeathed 

an atavistic five sense meme

or the daily sensual dream of

a seething vestal silken in torn

wild seems ridden by wild horses

or laid satiated upon the whitest of sands

by gentle hands that caress undress

every dark thought of a day’s displeasure

the sun moon horizon sky land

being just there 

where we are now and no

amount of thinking can unwind 

the tides of thought sitting expressionless 

unable to comprehend what was always known

but so rarely understood 

this overwhelming happy grief that the sea has salted us

outside and inside 

on land or sea

that somehow this is meant to be

or so it seems to me

drying off with a rough towel

this is the life
