What to say


What words would you have me say?

to him, her, they

sitting lifeless on rock, dirt and beach

I should blow the conch shell to summon

and speak

to the breeze, the sea or the parrots squawking in the coconut trees

What would you have me say…

to the Quarry wearing shrouds

waiting

waiting

waiting

Prey, who shun the light

and ache for moonless black

watching

anxiously waiting to pound out

the slightest flicker of

whatever

where ever lest it

lures

entices

beckons

the Reapers into their graveyards of Kunai, Sago Palms and bush rope.

____________

Fear – the unseen Prison and Warden.
