Her sly angle changed obtuse
in the different light of the sun
setting in a hurricane,
purplish blues and high speed winds
tussling hairs,
tying knots and have me knots
out of the thick strands
while I watch from the shore
and admire the water jets
ascending to the heavens,
and taking all the hell with them,
I watch,
and light a moment of clarity
with windproof thoughts,
spitting the silt on the sand
and stomping it with rubber soul.
I am the best thing you've never heard of.
I hold a Bachelor's in English, History and Secondary Education, and a Master's in English: Creative Writing, though my appearance belies intelligence.
My goal in life is to write and to be read. It's a modest stretch by most imaginations.
To most I'm amazing.
It all depends on your definition of literary merit.
