Caught on the Barbed Wire of Sensation

For Free



This connection has worn like the gold color
on a battered locket.

Stochastic encounters do not a welded bond make-
if striking out on the slick slopes of this armored pyramid,
I slip to the hot sands below
you will reign above.

But the sun is a balm,
and the sea is free, with waves that don't take to belonging,
or balances;
it takes instead, with a ruthless hand
and crushes the bricks of civilization.
