The Lake
Pink sky envelops
A moment, caught in time
A monument, from another world
Once a force of destruction
Volcano, deadfall, ash and cinder
Now, a visage of calm
Serene, native plants
Creatures and life in an endless cycle
The skeleton of destruction makes way for inspiration
Nature is calculated in its chaos
The lake, resembling a man…
Pissing…into the wind
Vincent A. Bernabeo is a Literature and Writing student at CSUSM; he has extensively studied literature in both cinema and the written word. Vincent strives to prove that it is never too late in life to pursue one’s dreams to his beautiful wife and three children. He is interested in writing and consuming any and all forms of entertainment, and champions for the literary merit of pop-culture texts. Vincent’s poetry is largely inspired by both his personal experiences and the critical theories he studies at CSUSM; his work often plays with the very concept of language itself to unravel the mysteries that captivate and often subjugate humans all over the world.
