Crabs Can Be Lovers, Too
I've already written a poem in my head, while prying the last peanut butter from the jar, before I could get new musings on paper...well, mostly and/or the concept of one...it goes like...

can you tell the sand crab not to bury itself
everytime you near?
why would cuttlefish hide in the anemone?
I hunker deeper in dirt each day
so that each night
the tide can't roll me out and drowix-thon me
where no one wil see
...it's beeb moonless in this endless night


6.10.24

I'd refine and add more later.
For some people, life is easy. For others, they a waiting to be reaped by the water harvester.

I could add more or refine further later. My eyes dearly need rest. I have a six-thousand character review on an article to whittle away at and hope the sea doesn't swell to 7 before I can send it home tonight.

Rest little puppies.
and finish the PB&J sandwich. Jelly is next, after I open more PB.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll say or do something stupid (to avoid frustration and/or depression) in the days ahead.
I early bury my head, if not to thicken a quick tongue, ostrich onset of the fogs of shame settling in over my crown...without a whisper of my crime.

A gumball dipped in white paint looks delicious to a mouse, even after it's offered by an ignorant cat.

tell the sand crab not bury itself?
every time I near?
while cuttlefish hide in anemone?

I hunker deeper in dirt each day
so each night
the tide
can't roll me out
drown my soul
where none will see
or find

...it's been moonless in this endless night

…I’ve shared many thoughts
while waiting…
as the hydra hurls swelled form
in black
…air sucked out eternal
anticipate…

in bunker resembling cradle
layer over layer
year after unmarked year
further go…
…limb, torso, eye
out one portal I spy  infinity 

…do you feel the abyss
between?

I could ply
a neutral surface, clean, calm…
…I still wait

and I wonder
why
