Fresh Water Crocks






There Is Always
A New Loss To Take
The Place Of The Last New Pain
As It Fades From View..

Until Finally I Suppose There Will
Be A Loss Of The Words Themself.

When I Lose "The Poetry"
Then The "Final" Loss
Will Be Complete

And Perhaps
I Will Be Finally Allowed
To Sleep Without The Nightmares

And Speaking Of Nightmares

Have Your Ever Gone Biking
Around A Lake?
Only To Get Trapped In The Mud

To Gaze Out Into The Clear Water So Close
Only To Realize You've Stubbled Upon
The "Crock Family Values"

"Fresh Water Crocks" What A Surprise!
"I Am Surrounded"

"Say Your Goodbyes"

by Brian Ashkin
