I drift in shadows
muttering jangles and scraps,
in search of a fix

I died and became
a dispersing atom crowd
like ink in the sea

slip under water
mingle with the light - fine points
of supplicant rain

shower of fragments
melody and razor blades
catharsis silver

dissolve the salt blood
drain the blue memory pool
free the green river

the summer heat rings
silent bell washing waves - notes -
air resonating

measure the pain of
the broken bones of silence -
mute howl flooded nerves
