Poem: Diarist

 

Diarist

 

a dogpaddle of pain

carries urgent words

into an undertow of truth,

which drags them off somewhere,

leaves them stranded on a sinking beach.

a place of half-liquid sand 

sculpted by frantic tides as 

feverish as a pulse,

the interplay emotional,

dim and yet flashy with minnows,

madcap in their weave and veer,

above the deeps.
