Ambling

Vague impressions.
Illusions, delusion,
Allusions to what
May have been
Passion.
Now only blind spots.
Unfocused focal points
Where a bright light
Once shone
Too bright.
I sink
Deep
Into murky, placid ocean.
And the water confuses
My image and actions
In it's wavering facets
And unruly
Refractions.
Apathetic towards
My longing
For solidity.
I'm just wandering.
Ambling.
Searching.
Dizzily.

Black Marker

A thick Black marker
Outlines, emphasizes,
Eliminates dimension,
Flattens and draws
Attention.
Impossible to ignore.
Improbably erased.
And always leaves
The bleakest
Trace.
