The Voices

I collect eyes. Burnt ones.
Of the last summer.
Arms chopped off. 
By a tide of sand.
Reflections of uncollected water. 
You, hunter of flowers…
Oh, wharves! 
Oh, sea goings! 
Winds in the sails of the white ships.
High wings.
The swelter of August swallowed you.

But today it’s September and the oval autumn.
And your voices I hear…

I am stopping by this morning to read your amazing poetry, and to thank you for your kind comments Bozhidar. My poem (Old Loving Ways) is indeed fiction. Love, Carol
