A Sizzle Without Complaint
everyday bloodies the banks
washing away the good soil
fewer flowers and shoots of grass
pushing everything
decades back...
trapped on a shrinking cay
everything loved or lusted has died or blown away,,,
remember the picnics,
plaid sleeves covering bloated arms
a blitz of children
cheap drink
burnt meat(nobody complained)
quiet crushing music
drunks nibbling away
the night
brawling till morning
dictating when the sun should arise
its all gone now
except for the waves that play with the mind
sirens fill in the holes
their songs... like fat dripping into a dying fire
across the creek there's a party
that goes on... forever
