of concrete beaches

By doll on the rag

ten a.m.
sunday morning
church bells in the distance
and a lame duck on the water

little duck
i know just how you feel:

so busy
trying to keep your head above the surface
you don't notice
the beauty
you're drowning in.

less a scribble though, more a classic framed in a timeless instant,unnoticed by a million faces but for one poet to whom there is something fascinating to be discovered in everything

oh, holy crap. sometimes all my comments just get sucked into a void of a kind of internal stunned "perfect". Brilliant. *faveclicks*
