-had
walked the waves
vipers coaxed of
chains around your head, A medusa
let
out; into
circles of handcuffs.
Beneficiaries (caught hair streaming, waves sat bey
under the ond)
crescent tried their luck.
still upward
eyes, yours as
an offering a wreath above crows
nest, your hand waving
marked some apology for in- (went here)
attention
tallied a
top the deck of
some sinking boat the
captain feigns indifference
to the rising
water.
Rattled in your
terrace the
dusk had lashed
itself at the
irises -
were your clothes still in tatters?
hung
from your shoulders
for
5 more minutes
caught in dawn,
fell the waves un
to still facing upward
