Conbrio




Mica Schists
Michael David Coffey


Mica fragments in
the silky sands
Surf, swish sounds
on a stark shore
Surly ocean waves
against the white
Craggy rocks jutting
ecstatically
to a blue void
Hot sun on my back
burning
Turning I see the
reflection
of my life
In the reflecting mica
mirrors
Fragments of magic
in wild mad
moments of earth's play
Dancing, turning,
caught in the
swirl of the surf
Moments of ecstasy,
despair, love,
hate, birth,
death
Mica schists caught
in the tide
turning
Ebbing, flowing
always
vital, alive
Fragments of mica
reflecting a
dozen lives
in one
