WEATHERED, NOT WORN by Andrew Lowe

WEATHERED, NOT WORN

        --Andrew Lowe 

It does not matter how smart the man

Save what makes up his bones

Sitting with cigarette in hand

Pretending to be all of his own

 

But does he drink his liquor warm

or sip it straight from the morning sail?

 

And can you smell the wicker, sleeping cool underneath his bitter nail?

 

Only the ocean can tell

But too dense to frown

Too light to smile

Too long to unravel

 

Look how young its eyes once were

Collecting shards of wind

To wage war upon the mourning, I begin

 

But sleeping through the rich days of lavender and haze

While only time will know its truth

Suffer not, for you know it is not true

 

While tiny birds of glass can only fly in the afternoon

We hope the sun remains strong, but not too cruel

Andrew Lowe
