Moral Survival

Eco-locating dreams of a wounded me

Rejected by the fins cutters of bloody Reality

I had strong arms but could not walk

on powdered carcasses of my friends' hopes

they had only gills...lungs “saved” me...

drifting on a dry land with no melody...

This is a very dark piece of poetry. It just seems a bit heavy for this time of year. But what the heck, we are poets aren't we?
