A ship
Built of scraps
By crabs
For one
On a
Lonely
Beach
For all
And
A bench
And
A sandcastle.
It has
A will
And a goal
And
Ethics
That
All go
Save
The
Screaming
Which do not
Always
Use
Words.
Why?
Because at the
Heart of the ship
Is a shattered
Running
Crystal hart
And it fears:
What if
I
Am the
Only
One
Who
Heard?
The warning bells will sound to abandon
Ship
But
The crabs will hold together
And
Crystal doesn’t need to breath
Underwater
It just
Shatters at the
Deepest pressures.
That’s when the crabs pull it all
Back together
And surface
If the deep sea people
Haven’t heard
Our own
Hart screaming
Someone needs help
It might be me
But it might be
Someone else.
But those crabs
Cannot always
Survive
Going back
To get
All the pieces
So they say:
If you find any pieces
Drop them here please
We know this puzzle
Will never complete
Some of it is sand
Some
Dust
But
Not all of it
Yet.
I Am Who I Make Myself
