Taste the Sea
Updated: Feb 19, 2020
Taste the Sea

A glint, a gleam, the hint of a seam
Connecting, correcting the crack.
The ocean, the massive, rejecting the passive;
Accepting, protecting the cast—
The cast-away from the pre-staged play,
Refusing, profusely the role
Of body as puppet, of life as a muppet,
Confusing, abusing the soul.
Adventurous journey, tumultuous turning
To travel, unravel the myth—
Expose the mystery of imposing history—
The sameness, the lameness of this.
My fistful showing of wistful hoping,
The standard I’m handed, a fake.
You say it’s a dream, I’ll say what I mean.
This cistern, this fissure, this lake—
I think that it’s frosting, I think I’ll be crossing
To some shore to find more of me.
So, I’ll dare the fray, I’m more scared to stay.
You waste it; I’ll taste the sea.
