It’s Open Link Night 98 over at dVerse Poets Pub! Come share, read, and join in the fun!

In this sleepy little town

down behind the milkweed

to the hidden trail

that winds through the pines

and then,

breaking

 

sun

 

just like that

 

and once the light

has teared your eyes

you see the sea below

like a memory

like a dream

like a dead sea

 

like when you were a little girl

it carries the same sounds–

lapping, splashing, trickling off

your fingertips;

 

it carries the time you thought

you discovered it

 

it carries a night long ago when

you opened your eyes beneath it,

alone in that dark

 

it carries a constant answer

to a question you have no words for

 

take me, you say,

take me to that place.

 

You could go there, you could feel it

all you have to do is weep.
