sunfish

leaving
town;
leaving it down the road,
down the
down
into the ground,
grave thoughts,
grave graves,
buried,
I am buried alive…

yet on the other side
I see reason
(hope)
mope toward the light,
reach with full spine,
into the future,
into now,
touch what is not possible –

it surrounds,
permeates you
like the ocean beguiles a sunfish
