Original DDE™ art: “Storm At Sea” by: rob kistner © 2/12/26
—-<§>—-
the hull splits—
I cringe at the sound
as if this night itself
might breathe its fury
through the cracks
beneath my feet
the ship lists
scattering pieces of the past
small wings of memory
beat in the dark—
the ghost hesitates
then lifts
I stretch toward a railing—
safety thats not there
while the compass
begins to spin
naming chaos as my direction
the sea of loss
keeps rising
inside my heart—
storm driven
