Black Beach (Free verse) by Caducus
The manmade zodiac shone
Breathing darkness in to darkness
But in days long ago
It made my eyes bleed silver
In days long ago
Three crescent eyes once shone.
Lightning brings the entrails of the sea
As waves fall the stench rises
A lonesome gull cries as it soars
As countless others become inked quills
Writing their fate on a beach where the white flag still blows
Becoming buried alive in dead fish.
As a child I searched for mermaids here
The sand was soft and seagulls cried.
As a hopeless romantic I walked here in summer sunsets
And pictured myself in the scene âFrom Here To Eternityâ
I never found my Deborah Kerr
But always found myself here.
This beach is now man made
ruined by the storm?
But man has come to save it
And the old Russian ships still sail
Bringing the life blood of man
on the life blood of everything, and everyone.
