On these eastern shores
so dark and late at night
cold waves break over stones
and wash them cleanBeneath the fat moon
floating proud
above the belching surf
A sinking ship
of broken dreams slips
quiet from the scene
Shortly
as sun cracks
its fiery whip on the day
and bathes this stony silence
in sweet blue
Straggling
at the waters edge
the shadows of last night
worn and tired and wet
this sunken crew.
