Balance

xxxxxxxxBALANCE
X
Sorrow plummets down to the ocean's floor
where sightless creatures need only mouths
to strain the salt
from what they devour,
x
and panoramic vistas can never be explained
to a universe pushing
against a surge of light.
x
Seeking an answer in a cave of darkness,
pivoting to open and close my skin,
x
will I receive a clear balance
on the scales of justice?
x
No longer buoyant, I sink,
pour my tears into a cup to mix with the sea.
x
Who can tell which is my salt?
x
For all the sorrow in the deep
can't be perceived
by beings blind from the outset.
