OBSCURITY

OBSCURITY

A Poem by Betty Hermelee
"

melancholy

"

We dawdle on the beach

pinky to pinky

in a breeze of melancholy

on a moonless night

onyx sky hovers

ominous mood

ripples of waves lap the shore

 

Sundry in deep notions

no words willing

each timid of what may befall

an unwieldy stance

until a hearsay commences

extensive stretches of a hushed walk

 

We sit near a lopsided sandcastle

staring into murkiness

pausing for one to utter a word

silence is anguish

no one wishes to melt the ice
