Lost At Sea

Lost At Sea

 

Scatter scumdumps on the sand,

              step in sea, be crushed,

words in air, blow and freeze,

              to a melancholic mush.

 

Foamy kisses caress bones,

              fluorescent orange life jacket sag,

remnants of ocean meal strewn,

              beaches face, a hag.

 

In seaweed, mulch, hair long, knotted,

              a skull hides to decay,

velcro to sand and wait a while,

              to stink on a sunny day.

 

A ship, whose name will be lost in time,

              sails into the death,

swirl and twist at the moons order,

              and anchor on a final breath.

 

Anguish and sorrow from castaway lovers,

              at the mess and what could have been,

step over mulch, and condoms, and twigs,

              to once more challenge the sea.
