At sea

 Wavering earth

above sea level

the swells

squeezed by the boat's

journey

the movement

taller than the line of sight

out at sea

I've marveled at the distant blue

more than once

the depth

that penetrates

 the powerless pallor of words

when tiny transparent droplets

swoop into my arms

the impact

of being struck by insignificance

instantly smashes 

my strength

no kind of wetness

can be this drenching

i'm glad i didn't dodge

standing between

the sky and the sea

i open my arms

amidst the rocking

i embrace

the wind

the waves

the breakage

at least

i just can't choose 

just one life

 about confinement

misunderstanding

delusion

feeble ineffectual

explanations.

Sheep

Sometimes they're out and about on the edge of the woodland sometimes they're not in early winter they take the last few bites  of the grass that's left with their heads down a flock of sheep the horns on their heads gently harms  the skin of the earth the sheep are scrambling the marching order is a little chaotic the shepherd woman begins to yell the field of vision is not wide open i can still see the gray wolfhound staring majestically under the poplar tree that's lost its leaves  suddenly it snarls and runs towards the rattled flock suddenly the swollen formation shrinks the status quo was quickly restored and the shepherdess, the dog and the sheep began another round of silence.
