34

Fresh and mean
outside the detail
an incandescent figure flitters
fervorously fighting freewill
feral, favored, and consequently near-sited.

He has seen the dawn
and tasted crisp moonlight
Heard the sharp,
felt the sweet
And without a whisper of dark
embraced a fortress
Suckled
Grew but did not grow

And when he reached the shore
he pondered:
"What if I had not anchored in gentle waters?"
