Tides (Blogophilia 43.9)

Tide flows in
Surely as it flows out
Into the black ocean
Heartbeat of the marsh
As the sun sets over my shoulder

Tent perched on a hammock
In the eastern time zone
I wonder
Can you see without eyes?
Can you speak without lies?

Another sip of coffee
As the firelight dies
You thought yourself
The big fish in the pond
But sharks proved you wrong
And I’m
Thankfully
Alone.
