Excerpt

Inky waves roll me like laundry,
Like rocks in a tumbler -
Grinding me against ashen sands.
Eroding under a bruised sky,
My eyes don't see the sun -
I grieve alone beneath my clouds.

  6. Very Emily Dickinson-esque. Hvae you read her stuff? I hope so. If not, you must. Beautifully obscure.
    My favorite part is how you don't say "the clouds" BUT rather "MY clouds". I love how the narrator takes ownership, yet doesn't not claim any part of the sun.
