Danny Gentile #49 - Reclining

Reclining

is best done
when at ease 
with yourself

or others
(not yourself)
are broken
into smaller pieces

floating
Styrofoam on an
instant ocean

air mattress
inflated
spare and wallowing

these days you lie 
with knees 
outward

hoping 
that the sea
will not have you

succumb
to its early
embrace

  1. Love this...
    hoping
    that the sea
    will not have you...or me:-)

  2. Yes, as Janette said, that the sea never get you. 'Knees outward' - so odd. A terrific poem.
