College on the Coast


Above the clouds– a place where I have been,
Beyond the darkness setting on my skin.
The shiny coins that mark the midnight sky,
Can never know this joy I hide within.

Beneath this limb of earth whose hues regress,
Not fifty meters from the sea’s caress
My only witness, pale and plump, belies
A somber darkness draped in breathlessness

The grass is silent, swaying slow and sweet.
My heart is calm, a constant, crying beat.
These lazy arms are resting at my side,
Where heavy hands and wholesome soil meet.

The distance veils a dancing crimson, bright
To warn the flying men to change their flight.
A tragedy it’d be if they surprised,
My sleepy eyes, which mingle with the night.
