Four Signs of Distress and Thorndikes Law of Effect

The Sea

   the seaside bliss
   an experience long forgotten
   over busy street and loud CD choruses.
                                    When I’m alone, alone I symphatize.

The Waves
   the wrecking waters
   pushing through a fall
   over resting sedimentary fortresses.
                                    When in my strifes, I also fall.

The Breeze
   of which nerves intend for pain
   no longer understand
   the touch of flowing coldness
   Or the eyes can interpret
   the blinking stars in haunted nights
   or the inner awareness
   admonishing tears to fall
   Or the last time I touched your hand
   Four years ago, there, watching over us

The Hale-Bopp
   the portents brow
   no longer arches wonderfully
   over moon’s face
                                 When I let you go It was mistaken for a guiding star.
