In the Dark, the Hollow Gaze Echoes Words of Love

                                 Picture: Glenn Sorensen

The wound ripens, and the wind blows from the sea
The wound shudders, breaking wide open
The screech of car horns, sudden brakes, unfamiliar faces
The clink of glasses, laughter colliding
Terrifying, the woman, lost, runs toward the sea
