Chewing Through Chain-link

Missing image



Once, when I was idealistic,
seashores sounded like home

now I know how surf crashes,
undertows have drug
half my dreams
(such salty reasons)
against sharp shells

and I am cut cruelly
by reality.

How I long for mountains, real clouds;
those wild horses, frothing
to get elsewhere.

I am penned in, like crustaceans,
at a dockside pound.

I watch sea-driven smother of fog
try to hide this hesitation
at chewing through bone

to try a desert for the duration.

    This is awesome, it sent immediate pictures through my mind as well as an unexpected outlook. I love the shore, yet dwell inland here with all the green...could there be a reason I stay put? What an immense and insightful perspective. Best of luck in the contest.
