Bleach

Jake NewlandContemplative

Our hands are sanitized by the bleaching sea salt The open doors The rumors shared on doves' wings With hidden letters From inks of clear intention Mistakes left open to Whiteout remembrance, False senses of securities abound Binding political allies, Warping the olden village fences With unions draped In beach-clad memories Which bleached hands Don't easily forget
