Under temporal skies
Candor is under-stressed
Limes floating in the ocean
Tell the story.
Soaked in waves
The acid washes away..
Foam materializes into fizzle
Before dissolving
Over layers
Of placid blue...
And what is more honest
Than salt cackling
Under the burn of the sun?
The Exposer.
The proposer
Of sincerity,
Watching
What glistens
And what erodes.
Still I remain
Sitting at the shore.
Toes buried between grains
That soon will wash away.
Skipping rocks
Embracing the random bounce.
Blind to where
I will ripple tomorrow.
Sucking on hard sugar candy
To savor the sweet
Before it all
Loses its flavor.
