the abyss of uncertainty

( ink by Pascale Gérard )
Striking   
the dark abyss
the wave came
powerful and warm
crushing our illusions
at the bottom of the shattered abers.

Everything was bigger
prayer rode boats
the wave lashed the faces
there was on the bridge
than tangled cords
and rattling reef.

When from the sky
springs the walrus horn
beauty seizes us
to impale us
in the vertigo of supplications
the assumed moment of inattention.

Gold and light poured down
relationships with the whole
the finger of loneliness in evidence
at the roaring fiftieth
calling us back to work
so much love to give.
