A Good Bye

Wave Wave away the salt ridden distress Your breath slides down the sinking pit within you A quicksand of hungering wants Fangs bared, coarse tongue whipping out No mothers breast Only your unclaimed breath A veil Mountainous Your lungs, in your chest, near your heat, thump, you feel it A sea of pressure Unrelenting, wave after wave battering this virgin shore White buds wilt Red heart shrivels, a raisin The shrinking shadow Waves © Samir Georges 2008
