/lit/ - Literature

There should be four stanzas, but I'm having trouble with paragraph breaks. Help required across the board. Will repay with sentiment.


Middled ending

A cool quiet church
on the seabed
The wet, softblackness
in your chest
The small peace in an apricot

A clock at rest?
Or the serpent sin
to ever shed?
To never digest
lumps for eternal regurgitation.

Better to roam like land
under rainclouds
fatten and fall like wheat heads
vanish like a dot of spray
into that deep slow sea in the sky

Encircling you and me
its Prussian Blue eye
cleary sees
each and every street
Is a graveyard of homes
