Erebos

No i don’t feel like accosting the tide
nor do i palpably access in words
how i feel
           upset
distress
no bliss to bless an unquiet mind
disposition at rest

       tides lap beaches and recede
to found more beaches
greater reaches of impermanency
and sea-wrack
of which i am one specimen
exhausted
from breasting the tide

           unfit . . .
no matter
let sit
