Faith at Sea
Prostrate proselytizing
Idle carelessness when and
If I open my mouth
A symphony of linear ineptitude but
You’ll understand all the letters (I hope)
that come out of my mouth sweating
Counterpoints preternatural divinations
Apostrophes - A one-way fire some cities drink
Its where you are, where are you?
A tear torn from the eye,
To feel this again.
To my hand, it is a jellyfish
Soft, sick and pink
A salty tongue of many flavors.
