By an image
Whats an image?
An emotion drowned
Out by sand.
Find grains out by the
Ocean. Or the dunes in
The heat of June.
Scattered upon a thin
Paper, that easily snags.
When you write their,
All your dreams
Are a jumbled tune.
And a faint whisper
Makes sense out of the
Music created from an image,
In late June!
