Kochi and the Sea!
October 4, 2018
Stormy Sea, Gustave Courbet, 1869 Between the devil and the sea
I thought I grew up.He stands tall amidst
ruins of cemeteries,
hysterical laugh follows.
West of Kochi's conscience
the sea wails,
crashes at his feet;
she still shows mercy,
smothering her angst, salty wrath.Where are you? They question.
I… I have left home!
