The Curl
The Constant wave
Divides me from speech
Tears apart the Recent
Leaving me dead
Of conscience
I stand motionless
Heart keeping beat to
The crash of the shore
I was here yesterday
But something about today
Curls my mind
I’m wrapped in the gale of
Sea and sand
The wind tussles
With my blonde locks
Feet melt
Into beaded necklace coast
Will I be here tomorrow?
The necklace slowly unties
Seconds sprint
Towards their next
Closer and closer
I won’t be here
Tomorrow
The beat again calls me
Mocks a drum
That beat slowly withers
Like flower in fall
Its roars rumble softer
The last bead falls
And pulls down the
string
Will the sea beads answer to their Curl?
Question comes but once
I stand empty handed of reply
For I am like one grain
Not two or three or four
How can I stop?
My heart only keeps
Beat to the crash of the
Shore
It is then I look
It is then I watch
When will I realize?
No one’s coming
Swiftly locks crumple
Heart skips and shutters
I will not walk here tomorrow
But how can I stop?
My heart still keeps
Beat to the crash of the
Shore
A final catch of the eye
Takes me in
No more am I lured though
Strength is slowing
Sound is souring
My heart could only
Keep the beat
And there it is
No awe at all
The great precipice
stablished from tan grains
Built of solid flowing soft
Tis' a constant wave
Stuck in its Past
Curling above
Peering below
