WORDS ON DRIFTWOOD BLEACHED WHITE
[Blank Verse in Trochaic Trimeter]
Words on a windswept shore
Words scribed in brown pigment
Words on a wood casket
Words on cedar faded white.
Words in saltwater inscribed
Words of a son returned
Words penned in icy brown foam
Words held in fond memory.
Words that escaped the sea
Words of a fool’s disjecta
Words of bewilderment
Words a spent man haply wrote.
Words that cup him in sleep
Words that will not disturb
Words fixed in rain stitched sand
Words etched in shadows cold.
Words swing him quiet and mute
Words lull him lull him low
Words nuzzle and warn his soul
Words lull him lull him low.
