The Shell Poem by Brian Taylor

The Shell



A big SHELL
on a warm sand shelf;
building long and strong.
Out at last kept out.
TIME to decide
what’s inside.
Inside meditation,
contemplation.
Any answers?
A SKULL
a big skull
with a warm snug self;
building long and strong.
To keep out out.
Any answers?
EYE, ear and brain
drag it all in again,
sense saturation.
NEVER alone.
No time to take advantage
of the bone.
