the shore looks far too-far away
no sails, no wind, no oars
one anchor, drifting on a pause
feelings so remote, con-
trolled by whim, this tragic, floating
thing, unmade of broken
thoughts and dirt, and harsh reminders
of what might still remain
despite all efforts to bury
chests filled with sad treasures
bookshelf trinkets, ornaments
no holiday would claim
decommissioned fireplaces
dream of warmth, not baubles
placed on mantelpieces, just to
take up space that once be-
longed to the imaginations
of lovers with big plans
the inability to swim
turns land into punchline
no setup, despite the humours
blood, bile, and phlegm attest
dyscrasia diagnosed by lack
of anything that's good
waters lap against the hull, while
sailing on these hardships
.
Hashtags 'they' told me I should add 🤷🏿♂️
