Seahorse

By morning mist waken

At sunrise I am shaken

In day now to swim

 

These days run sieve-like through fingers

Just as nights bleeding truth covers what little remains

By the hand of my past I am drowning

The more I explain the less you understand

I am a seahorse unique and alone in birth

Originality confounded
