BOATS FLOAT
boats
float
boats
disappear
screws with my mind
the causality here
loaded with refugees
now
nowhere to
be seen
to some
a sadness
to others nothing
short of
palpable
relief
the sea so fraught,
so fickle
so
uneven
in its favour
bringing
horror to all
horror in sadness
horror in
relief
but worse, far worse
awaiting the survivor
no perfect storm at sea
ever came close
to this mother of
maelstroms
once
setting foot on land
