Dirty Time

Depth of a bruised sea
rising from the surface
overwhelms the dumb shore

shining
for impossible tomorrow
golden sand, the locked door.

History repeats amnesia
for a depressed meniscus
shifts the nameplate.

Here was laid the image of
priestless god of dusty face
small dreams .

The book remains incomplete
who wrote the contents
for blank pages ?
