Where we Float, The Ocean Wild

February 28, 2023February 27, 2023 cindykochwrites

Wild is the ocean. Where expanse swallows October. Ravens circle, they know the time. When the swell dips too low. And the peaks shoot high. The season when even careless shipmen practice wisdom. They’ve heard, they’ve learned, that our journey will end under the world. The water is made for drowning. We know it, It… Continue reading Where we Float, The Ocean Wild

Mourning the Loss of a God

July 9, 2022July 3, 2022 cindykochwrites

When once she might speak, but ever sits silent. He waits for her voice to comfort, but when will he learn that he has waited in vain. Imagined her lips.

Sacrifice: That’s Not What I Desire

Settled in the sand. Sun on her shoulder. Sweet quiet wind across the shoreline. Steady and constant whisper of waves running wet fingers up the beach could barely touch her. Laying there, just far enough away from the fondling foam to feel its icy shock on the tips of toes. In and out, water breaking,… Continue reading See Yourself As You Are

Blessed Worm

April 2, 2021March 26, 2021 cindykochwrites

But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by the people. (Psa 22:6) Small, disgraceful maggot. Chewing on the left-over garbage. Squirming in the mud, beneath the feet of people above. He writhes, they shudder. He drags across the ground, they gag. There is no honor in the disgusting… Continue reading Blessed Worm
