Death Threats
A Poem
Ocean rolls in quicker thunder
than I have heard before
I come to feel quiet
and reflective
but the ocean
roars…
spewing oily epithets
at my repose
choking
wave by wave
coughing up a wicked phlegm
of garbage
of sewage
of the pieces
of its own plundered heart
and I hear
no sound of solitude
but shouted death threats
scattered
in sea shell elegance…
