at bridge of nose
is a crevice
deep enough for rain
to run a river
it becomes a bruise;
clenched-brow rush
of thoughts
desiring anonymity
of ocean’s blue eye

Ohhh, I like this one, Carol, a LOT.

I really love the imagery of the second stanza here
the bruising, the clenched brow, and the eye all work together wonderfully to create an atmosphere of dangerous sadness
Thank you for entering
