I watch the others
Pry open eyes
Beg for attention
Dust their eyes with
Saltless tears
I roll mine
Like dice
Vacant pupils
Hollowed fears
to determine my lot
And turn away
Lonely channel carries cure
it floats about
like a golden leaf
Glitter of sunset
Detached reef
Swept along
by sea breeze
I jump in after it
Water to my knees
Water to my chest
Water overhead
It runs deeper than I'd guessed
