Low key.

I keep my eyes wide open
but low key
look down to the ground where the water swishes in tide pools
where the wishes of dead sailors gasping for breath in unforgiving waters gurgled their last words in a manner low key
we look for faces of compassion in a world where destitution is comparable to prostitution
but we keep this opinion low key
the reflection of blinding light beaching the tidal homes of anemones
low key.

It's just beautiful. Please keep writing them.
