Universality held within my hand;
nothing but a shell and a need for rain.
Thoughts spiral tight around a single strand
on this becalmed sea where I still remain.
What albatross must I bear to appease?
And where is my guest to whom I can tell
revealing truths to set my soul at ease?
Deliver me from this unmoving hell!
Heaven, that earthen shore that I can see,
even now taunts me. Rising up ahead
and yet, do I feel a break in the sea?
Venial, am I? Is that what they said?
Except, broken - between a rock and wave,
news to me that heaven does not save.

twelveooneover 19 years agoagree with eve, words maybe not hurt by the form, it does read a little fast for the title.
I like this, two questions in one line, shouldn't do, shouldn't do, some say; fuck 'em its good.
"Venial, am I? Is that what they said?"
sackover 19 years agoI actually looked up the word "albatrose" in the dictionary until I realized you must mean "albatross". With the exception of that tiny typo, I thought this was quite powerful, and look forward to reading more of your poems in the future!
