Hermit


tiny crablike movements
across the sand
towards home
towards the inward place 
where the story ends
and the days begin

across the stormy sea
the Atlantic blue of a hearts longing
across a series of rifts, foaming crests
of a better dream

caution
the claw like hands pinch
the soft underbelly of youth
clutching the remnants to its breast
as newborn food

dormant shelter
from the rages of time
and the fiery pits  of desire
the wonders of hell
cannot fathom this sea
this murky underwater world so new

to the scuttling fusion go
to the roaming spirit rise
life is foaming to and fro
in the very minute that we rise
