Keep on the Sunny Side, by Cindy Patrick

29/11/2019

0 Comments

 
​Underneath-
dark, muddy, cold, wet
live with cautious purpose
outward
colour, washed, warm, dry – enough
appears so
appears, requiring kindness, encouragement
legitimate from the elements,
as the sand slips away
another wave rolls in
sustaining the darkness of the foundation
while the superficial takes
energy from those around
solar powered,
at peak performance
vacation, sunny side up self
differs so, from mundane day-
functioning to an end
see me, speak to me,
sunny side up
as the dark side is my reality
housing, for the clandestine,
creepy, unsettling, realities
what you don’t turn over
is no day at the beach

    Poetry

    This is the section where fiction prose becomes something else. We still expect the poems to be short, though – sonnets, perhaps, or around that length at the very most.
