Soul Shelter

Poseidon throws his shells away
to litter all the shore
where abandoned dwellings
lie vacant…hinged,
their  animating principle
dissolved to a different realm
where curved blue turbulence
dissipates on sand.

Abandoned

Poseidon throws his shells away
to litter all the shore
where abandoned dwellings
lie hinged…vacant…
the animating principle
dissolved to another realm
where curved blue turbulence
dissipates on sand.
