Afternoon Swim In the Nude

Afternoon Swim In The Nude

How rude to spill your black crude
into my beautiful ocean blue.
My plans for an ocean barbecue
are skewed, for if I light a match
near the ocean now
I could be blown in two.

We should pour all of you 
 British Petroleum executives
nude into the black oily ocean and
let you swim around in the
black soup of gulf crude
with the fish and other wild life,
then you might have
a new attitude.

Of course we’d have the cooped
up convicts wash you down
with DAWN, when you were 
through with your 
swim of the afternoon
in the oily black crude.

Solitude

My hand trailed in the wake...
Of an ocean

The solitude of ocean and sky
The wind,
sighing by

When an ocean met the sky
My hand trailed in the wake....
of a wind sighing by

upon silvered wings,
I crossed a jewel that was the sky
The setting, the ocean
Sparkling

In my solitude of flying
Shades of blue...
On an ocean
In a sky
All I heard was my heart, sighing
