Crystal Clear

August 26, 2013

Quizzical mind
hushed and hidden
lie within the shadows.

Everyone is prepping for
the live broadcast.
The premieres set once
the sun plants itself
on to the night sky

Not gently woven--
Plucked.

Dragged body
worn feet
rasin skin
snailed steps
into:
shallow waters
where:
Mud grows anew and
Murkiness blinds your view

The rock has been taken for granted.
Carbon copies infiltrate your family too

The truth disregarded.

No

one

sought for the
crystal clear waters
that
swooned
beneath
it
all.
