Starfish Syllables
Water down the well;
wishing well. Well of words.
Searching for a holy grail.
Verse and syllable sanctified.
Swift current streams
washing down hillsides
carrying sediment of sentiment.
Oedipus divine.
A sea of metaphor,
delta sands diverse.
Scattered grains of truth,
to be swept up into
plastic buckets.
Sandcastles
folded and formed.
Reality molded from
a child's toy is
serpentine stability
at best.
Starfish dismembered
are starfish still.
Words not spoken
are emotion all the same.
