dear ocean,
i drank from
a wellspring
its tepid
never moving
waters were foul
with stagnation and
the rot of
bygone days
how will i
rinse this taste
and move on
yours,
possibly poisoned

dear possibly poisoned,
find the peaceful
surface of a pond
surrounded by
secure bounds
of a measured shore
its arms will never
let you stray
from bountiful
comforts as you slip
beneath silken waters
knowing safety
is never far away
all my best,
the ocean
towering pines
provided no escape
i was prisoner
of icy waters
a frigid, torpid
puddle who was
no kin of my own
tell me now where
you reside so i
can come and ask
what my heart desires
love,
hindered yet hopeful
