Poem-A-Day: Day 218

Finn'd
a prisoner of fate
and old man powder
sifting down through the narrows;
sand and winding streams
headed for the storm to end all
life as it is known
somewhere at the mouth of the river,
a gaping, screaming, passionate expulsion;
vomitous and wretched,
and tied to fate,
bound by shackles thick
and uncontrollable.

still,
it seems apropos.
