Dirty Waters

Tea sea shallowed the shore

scrubbing it with salt

distancing in the past

what was is now atore.

Prism of each wave sickled with disease

common to men

spectrum of color

lost to sole gray.

Stones reduced to pebbles

their roughness burgled

make for terrible guards

no better than the rubble

crafted by the chaos

when the Tower toppled.
