Teach Me Old Turtle

Teach Me Old Turtle

sunk heads hide inside holes
knowing hummed tones of mindless
echoes like a soft seashore, napping
long currents from the distance of
each sun ray to the ends of
the cold reptilians and back
onto the hydrogen fires beyond
north of our remembered ozone

kind heartened being tell me what's true
even in your cold and dark senses inside
yourself- unlock me with your ocean call.
