OCEANS TEARS
In avenues where trees stand ranked
she breathes a lonely ponderous sigh
as church bells strike the midnight hour
beneath an unknown sky.
Carpeted on poisoned growth
she lays below the branching limbs
her body clad in mist and rain
insensate to the fingering winds.
With thoughts of unknown pedigree
in memories eidetic clutch
tormented by passivity
she sheds an oceans tears.
