POEM

Widened Eyes

A strawberry
Unbitten. Conundrum
Unsolved  46.
Along the Line
Railway Stations stand
With ticket books.

Strawberry Rose ;
Lips, thin, Rosy
Not Red.
Hot, Hot on the Grass
Blouse and Shirt discarded.
Bared flesh seeks the touch
Of a cooling Sea breeze.
Granite stands tall : A wall
Lasered. It falls
Down under its own weight;
Space opened
Out.
Silence : Not Nothing. Zero
Fully at rest.
Equilibrium
Held in 
Struggles to maintain Itself.
         
Undisturbed Self;
Not-Right  thoughts  
Negated, flattened    
At all times ; To be
A Blue Full Moon
