The Way I Sea It.... Poem by Bryan Alexander

The sun bleeds
dripping its violet, crimson, pink
blood
cut from another
thankless day in the sky

he grows weak
and finally bleeds out
as he slips to the kingdom
of forgotten gods
surrendering to the vast ocean of
darkness and it is night

falls leaves
scream in a brilliant
orange coppery agony
swaying in the breeze
a death dance,
before they fall to the ground
where the rest of us live

thousands of fish
turn tortured circles
in their salt water tank prisons
dreaming of the ocean
or praying for death

and

so

do

I
