Water Underground
See rocks when running
Appearing like dark blue flashes
Skipping over wet sand
When counting these days
Seems only like a daydream
When I last climbed here
Clambered over these rocks
Up onto the hurtful grass
The stones are dry and still
Cracked and broken in fragments
Shaped in oddity, left alone
Beside there lay the gap in earth
This gap has widened now
Further away in my mind
Immortalised in isolation
With the pearls and tiny spheres
Kept in the inner cove
The water gush a dull echo
The days I counted
They slipped past, drowning
Fleeing from the sad scene
A stumble and a fall
Away from this hallowed place
Away from this sterile grave.
