flounderstream
we do not always speak in ways which make waves,
the slightest lilting lick of brightlight tunnel embeds between bricks
a mortar morticelock creating caverns
where we slip away at evensong amidst
underfoot rivers
securing the looks which chide to locked chains
momentarily lost whilst gazing in other gulleys
same-weathered, waterforced, chipped and scored
scuppering similarities, somehow.
crests fall, and troughs rise.
day sleeps, and nights hide.
