The
ship had no breaks,
The
sea twitchy
And
the sky was blind
We
sailed by
The
island of hope,
But
didn’t stay.
An
invisible force pushed
Perhaps
the sea pulled
Us
away at noon.
We
fumbled and fell, and rose,
The
ship drenched and drowned
It
touched the bottom,
But
didn’t stay
The
ship was scared,
We
were afraid.
You
won’t know the difference.
We
sailed by
The
island of fear,
But
didn’t stay
And
then came love
We
swivelled about
Saw
the island of pride
With
no invisible field.
We
took a slim halt,
But
didn’t stay
We
were squandered, looking
For
the pirate island.
It
would have them all,
They
told us. Looking,
Like
a pulse, consumed
By
the idea of stability
Little
did we know
There
was no pirate island
Wasted
and confused, we
Sailed
through the ocean
Like
a wave, a pulse
Never
ending, never staying
It
was the ocean
That
had them all
Like
a vast Pandora’s box
That
unveiled a blinding horror
In
our faces – despair.
Past
that nothing was visible.
