Upon Awakening

Walking away from the pier
I confront myself
and pass through

clear waters, muddy streets
mountainous memories
that I am unable to escape
caught in the shadow
of a living breathing behemoth

waves upon waves
thoughts are dancing spiders
trapped in silken luxury
of their own making

boiling water for tea
I rest my chin upon my chest
and wonder at the vastness
of the ocean

and, I am lost.
