The Loss
Waves circumambulate ship
like hungry sharks
butting hull
terrorizing contents
quaking inside
cowering
we await the end
Waves circumambulate ship
like hungry sharks
butting hull
terrorizing contents
quaking inside
cowering
we await the end
Abandon
ship
shaken into action
poisoned by fear
putting on life jackets
running to lifeboats
shaken into action
poisoned by fear
putting on life jackets
running to lifeboats
Jumping
in
cradling into each other
we watch the ocean
dismember our ship
cradling into each other
we watch the ocean
dismember our ship
How we
survived that night
I’ll never know
I’ll never know
