Slack Tide



In this moment,



In this moment frozen in time



Where danger is a memory



A distant memory



Drifting away on current



No wave, nor wind, hazardous



A slight miscalculation



Just the slightest mispeak



Could send words reeling end over end



And judgment is taken to task



Swiftly passing in a moment



Swiftly passing



Into spaces where they cannot be recalled



Into the sea



Drowning adrift



But hopelessly drawn



And hopelessly dawned



On a bitten tongue



Trying to reclaim the silence



Of a slack tide
