i've given up on most of it by now, and i'm going crazy
and it was something of a harrowing passion
that led me to believe this stuff, his words
continuing on.

it makes me so sick, it's even hard to laugh at.
i'm embarrassed for her. even though she's never will be.

those rays of heavenly light
pierced through every opening in the connected gray clouds
pouring through to reflect off the ocean,
back to that misty ceiling
and it is just an endless room full of water.

the most beautiful water i ever saw was a marsh
weak trickles, brown green froth at the edges
short lush water grass
fish, jumping, flying out of the shallow water
long legged white birds, marsh herons, alighting without splash or splish
smaller black and white water birds flying low to catch elated fish.
