Romancing The Pearls
by Andrew Demitt
dedicated to Eliezane Moon


photo (c) Ed Deasy Romancing the pearls
in shades of a half-lidded dreamer;
spitting –
up and out.
It’s late.

This ship’s lost its cargo –
a pale casualty to the whims;
nearly sublime,
save for the one thin burn
pressing its will into my cave -
as ineffectual as a cabin-boy
envenomed and drifting
silently towards the Aegean –
lazily cradled away in angels arms,
leaving those last scribbled apologies
to splash home in a pickle-jar.

That’s optimism.
