Tuesday poem #383 : Brandon Krieg : Purplish Seaweed

low tide, walk

            where yesterday teens

cast lines to,

     perch walked

       limp damp purplish seaweed

            baking into scent, flopped

                  the way waves went

                                                 

no renaissance broke through the roof to find

frescoed on the wall

                        of the long-buried

                                                orgy hall
