The Watermark




“The Watermark” 

Black halos fall at my feet 
like the Sun’s shadows kneeling 
on beds of imperfect pearls in salvage prayer 
scorching the past with its unspoken words
into a new day, the tattoos written sting

and you think,
you’re crazy 

bare footsteps like poetry belong to a body of work naked

The Watermark

The mark of water is an empty void.
It washes clean.
It slips through fingers, 
It has no cup, leaves no trace
For it is the primordial spark,
the fountainhead of life,
the matter and medium
that's within sustaining
all living things.

Watermark

Dreams like shadows upon the 
water
Water holds secrets beneath 
it's murky flesh
Our marriage held an 
unspoken lie

You were a saviour
