Broken Conch Espinela

Picking up a broken conch shell,
I hear the bass line within it.
Watching the petulant sky’s snit 
as rage grows unable to quell.

Eyes caught inside an ocean’s swell,
there’s no way I could turn and run. 
It comes for each town one by one, 
hotels and the boats are no match. 
A vision that made my breath catch, 
I’m glad that a cloud never spun.
