FROZEN

The frozen sea of memories
waiting for a summer of words
or a shower of salt tears

something,anything
that may melt its core
the labyrinthine layers of
meanings,understood
yet misconstrued
versions of personal truths

life doesn't offer
the convenience of a thesaurus
of neatly sorted
synonyms and antonyms
even references
smudged in our paraphrases of reality


I give up and
let this embryo of a poem
qualify itself to be verse !
