Bile and Barnacles
island made of bile and star
a bright and lonely speck
when the clouds disappear
steps of light kiss the land
some gilde upon these water steps ...
to seek what must be sought
especially things that offer sheen
to soon enough they bleed upon
the jagged lips of Id and want...
treading back to where it all began
as thunder fins circle around dream
made of grit, salt and sand
often blood mixes with champagne,
the gulls that never take a chance
but are quick to spit upon
your raped and ravaged dreams
and don't the brave lose the heart and legs
when seeking gems of flirty sheen...
in the end most cling to mundane shoals
like barnacles to rocks conceived from the cold
