copelandia.
Bluelighter
shimmering electrostatic waves
crash upon the coarse, undulating shoreline
causing layers of foam to breathe along the water's edge
the offshore winds whistle unforgivingly
creating the dull thud of metal heard from a distant vessel
the half submerged rocks rise and fall angrily with the swollen tide
whilst sea birds bounce carelessly along the sky, their movement controlled by unseen puppeteers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
so brush away the past
with white paint
and make the canvas plain again
it's easy to lose friends
and lose sight
in the bright lights
of the filthy city
the park is filled with unfamiliar faces
and uncaring sympathy
and coffee-drenched voices
wearing cheap smiles and expensive suits
they walk on breakable pavement
and speak of jobs they resent
but there's no other,
a true friend
like you
