sailor

 I shied away from the pain       I balled up my grief      and swallowed it whole      I never

 let on        but inside I was dying       you left me here      standing alone       misadventure

 they said      but I knew better      you killed yourself     through reckless abandon         one

 way or the other      you simply didn’t care        

I can’t afford to think about this       it’ll only drag me down     but where can I go      that you haven’t been       down to the shore        and into the water       out to the undertow       where all the drowned sailors      bleached by the sea         huddle together       for comfort and ease
