Capsized SouL
By OLd SouL
A hundred rhinos crash into the sea
they parade and drown in hollow
waters
super novas dance on the crests
forever mourning a fool's
wake
I crumble to the beach to perfect a sand angel
and wait for my message in a bottle
and time ebbs and flows
to minutes of the waves
as I stare at the moon
staring
back at me
there is no sudden realization
the rhinos
are part of the black mirage
and every star takes a bite
out
of my capsized soul
I breathe echos into sails
just
to stay afloat
I always sink
when my heart takes the helm
