Tortoise Eye Poem by Joseph Peter Ostapiuk

Tortoise Eye

Rating: 5.0


From my tortoise eye,

I see,

how everything moves

so desperately.


The passing motions of a tireless regime,

moving by me,

without a mere glance



This helpless feeling.

Like a soldier on a beach,

barely breathing.

Vesuvius over Pompeii,

frozen and sealing,

the motions and dreaming

of a couple intervening,



How it must be,

to have that helpless feeling.
