P E R C I P I E N C E

my THOUGHTS as OUR melting
  these mouth-fears  as heart
collapsing upon my lungs 
 ARE opened arms!  under
sometimes OVER an un-
speakable tinyLIKE
 spirulina floating
under eyes~~say,
  if a sailboat were
sinking would you save
this boy?  Like skin
so brown from a mighty
sun catching waves 
and food for this day?
The 'special' at the 
jetty is cognizance
  with a slice of
perceptiv3n3ness
  and perhaps one
person (living within
an expensive villa) 
  should catch me
drowning everywhere
like sunlight within
  that keenness complete
silence!
