The journey the sea
took my heart on
was not a
fair and sweet sojourn.
But a sad, sole, sad sack
tripping-down-the-waves
waiting for word,
tossing on waves of sorrow.
And slippery pearls of tears
tripping down
and sailing down my heart,
scaling down my heart to
empty nestedness.
In a red fog-fuged dawn
I pray and pray
