tears and fears fill moonless nights their pooled regrets not washed away nostalgic longings in hindsight of the shell of what might have could have been persistent clouds hover heavy dark creeping smothering extinguishing all light hurtful lashings of idle tongues whipping thrashing leave their scars sum total the days the nights unfurl their drama wind up marooned on the beach of life AP: 2nd place 2024 Posted on August 8, 2024...

At the watermark the line is drawn, there, the sharp cool clearness of a torquoise mirror marines me, while I bend to pick up Chinamen's fingernails with the blinding Sun on my back, I consider my life, it has gone up in flames licking my capricious mind with contemptuous poetry, and now this is what I live and breathe, it has come...

Beached
Drinking, looking for a life raft. Juke box broken, everyone here broken. An ocean washed us up, turbulent sea’s snatched us away. Captain courage has abandoned ship, he now sails icebergs over sloshing margarita’s. It’s a typical tropical hour here where the shipwrecked gather. We are a club, each of us an island of splendid isolation. Empty boats we are drifting in and out of silence. We leave only...

Seals are washing up on shore In places they've not been before So people are on high alert To let them be; they might be hurt. A friend of mine lives by a beach Where this occurred; she did beseech Authorities to intervene. For hours, no such help was seen. The seal was struggling on shore And his prognosis seemed quite poor. When...

Beached Whale
Im like a whale Beached on your sand I was too stupid to know I wasn’t meant for land That evolution doenst happened As fast as you planned That when you saw me out of water I was too big so you ran Im left staring at your footsteps Imprinted on the sand. Remember how I was big enough To carry you across...

Beached
She beached at dawn to a clear sky The sun rose to full height Tickling her toes She did not wake She rolled on the shore in the afternoon tide The waves lapping her body Eyes closed She did not wake She stiffened at dusk The tide ran out with her soul Seaweed clung to her hair She did not wake She lay upturned to the stars The...

Beached
Beached at the hotel where T.V. creatures pay homage to the energy trees, and the flowering sun remains cased in a glass orb, surrounded by a clouded ball of glistening human vision. The viewers stare amazed at nature’s fire, but they are blinded by their own darkness. In the shallow hall where people queue waiting to be engulfed by the fiercely burning hue. I stand back,...

The rowdy party racks the August Camp. Beer flows in one end and out the other. The tin siding vibrates with rock. The sound rolls “over Beethoven” in a corrugated groove. The heat baked, potato-skinned, hormone riddled teens gyrate. Lip-locked; they rub bright young bodies across a terrain of Appalachians and delta’s. Sweat runs like rain between dream Dean eyes and Marilynesque breasts, luscious...

Beached
Feelings - heavy, like bricks, like whales without buoyancy - helpless and misguided as when they come to land. Beached - trapped in a world too different from their own, an environment so foreign that even the simplest motion of breathing is a physical impossibility. But I am not that whale - just a human adjusting and coping...
