Drowning in the Horizon

Travis Green

I’ve been here before - - - the clear autumn sky
calling my name, gulls floating in the mist,
the short, sharp breaths my body takes in
with each step, the rustling wind feeding upon me,
my dreams stained by her soul: pasty, faded,
her soft lips creeping over my face.
Now I stare at the immense air moving in slow distance,
a mystery of pain glued to my chest,
heartless, gloomy, and filled with madness.
I thought I had let go of those thorns,
but I’m falling beneath the splinters,
and I can only vaguely see hope: a small boat
washed out to sea, a dark fisherman with his nets
pulling up my sunken heart.
