Sea – Scuzzbucket

There’s a body on a mid-winter beach, again:
Bloated by sea water, battered by waves,
The skin an indeterminate grey, the DNA…

in the darkness of my room
i laid myself bare
pulled back the covers
and became a starfish
made my own…

baby, maybe I'm too bold,
or just another fool
flyin’ into the sun —
just another Capt’n Ahab
gon’ driftin’ for his whale,
the whale who took…
