Still Beautiful: The Conch

I find an old shell.
A Conch,
Wrapped in shitty barnacles,
and covered in worm-like
dead things: Ropes.

At first I thought it was
another piece of horse dung,
the way it lulled at the
edge of the sea and rolled
gently forth and back - like something
Not quite liquid.

But I came closer,
Through the flies to see the
swirl shape, hear the ocean,
grasp the ragged edges:
black, rusty, crusted over...

You are still Beautiful -
Unique Design shifted to the
Dark Side...

                          not evil.
