You will, at the shore of Dead Sea find -
A collection, of small poetry of mine; 
In an orb of some garbled type of salt -
See my life, my love, my remembrances,
In a holistic star of gestalt.

But there I fare - I am but a dullard,
Whose heedless surge of blood knows only
   the plumage of ephemeral things,
   Should the flight of time repudiate
   the sorriest breed of hopelessness -

like a shore bird, from her returning,
descending to settle again, there
besides her calcified partner, by
a fountain of drinks life vilified -
   praying still
   for his soul to arrive
   in a desolating ... kind of trill.
