I sit

heavy with

sadness

amidst

boulders

both          solid

neither    motile

ocean waves come in

I see them

hear them

feel them

smell them

then allow myself

to be the waves

smash ashore

pound the rocks

thunder the air

reduce my sadness

from solid form

to drops of water

ebbing    from mind


By Dennis West

“I know enough to No tequila!”

“If only pain dissipated like smoke.”

“Avoid the religiously moral wayward juggernaut.”

“Turned fifty, now a wreckless driver.”

“Tired of pursuing the distant mirage.”

“Love is tangible. Just like fog.”

“He is rare. Like Timex watches.”

“Her life reads like bad fiction.”

“”Lost and Found” has been stolen.”

“Quarry profundity, dig deepest in mirrors.”

“Should we hang all the racists?”
