Skin

Under skin runs a river reaching for an ocean
Sunrays transform pigment, absorb wetness
Blind fish in vast deepness of ocean swim freely

Quiet deep echo, once a hello, contains tears
Salt laden drops of confusion wet blind fish
Molecules of clear oil seek futile bond

Two legged sapiens walked from fire
Webbed mammals beach on sand
Summer dreams winter, winter free falls

Inside sound is a quest for hearing
Sirens deafen, close listening break drums
Moon is howling thunder, calling tides

River rushes clear through dryness
Howls pierce death
Moon shine reflects into darkness.
