A Poem for a Saturday
The sea being an
eternal reminder
of our mortality carried
me over the threshold
the threshold being the
lowest form of barrier
between sadness
and drabnness
and freedom being the
most stunning form
of adversity
and free verse being the
lowest form of expression
and a night in a hotel being
more than a lifetime
under the sea.
I don't miss that big eyebrow-ed
childhood because
i am now
its dreams
dreams being endings
and the sea being
my beginning
and all of us being the
washing machine.
