And set sail

by limp   Aug 24, 2007


And set sail with me, on a dusk grey morning,
Where paper birds move like engines-
This boat has no horizon, the water is still,
and any wind left in caprice; unsettled.
Oil falls from the clouds ears, and mouths foil.
like an empty hospital corridor, lips wrap around themselves
stumbling on words already unsaid. Patterns fall;
and my diction coils, into a thousand missing pieces.
I let my conscience rot and evaporate-
into the air that has returned. Our boat sinks.
And I don't care, because I'm lonely here anyway.
