Sea-weed

(2006)

Undulating sea-weed
emanating from a pumpkin seed
will never bleed
but discover greed

because what it needs is light
to spark its growth out of sight
into the pea-green night
where it will soon take flight

and become the un-known eel
which noone can touch or feel
or ever begin to peel

the layers of the eels paper skin
and toss them in the bin
revealing the undulating twin
of the sea-weed with a grin

because the sea-weed will be gone
long before the pea-green dawn
when the sun first covers the lawn
