Elephants on a beach-tears with every wave

standing by the ocean watching every word

perhaps the ocean is watching me

footprints over so many years all stolen by the view

plastic bobbing corpses echo another life

organic crucifix surfboarding ride

a beaten sky throws the cloud some memory in disguise

who am i 

i can hear myself scream

pieces of a drawing a nightmare in a dream

sand flows from the wounds i let you rest in

could i destroy that knocking on the door

silence the turning head

and carry another stormy wave

Romantic smooth melting kiss

the smell of musk drifting along the chained reason

an escape -and me left on a sodden rainy beach

speaking in some mixed meaning-

while a bizarre scene unfolds me spreading tears

and three elephants from an indoor zoo strode strongly

along each pebble strewn interlude,

always at the very ocean edge-never inland

im just waiting for the tide to return
