This Desert Island
by Kerowyn RoseI lost you in a sea of black ink.
Cotton ball clouds
float in the baby blue
from whence you fell.
Blood bubbles rise and pop
where your body submerged.
I keep your words as souvenirs
encapsulated in glass beads of time
and finger them with mantras
each time the soft breath of a flute’s
song fills the stillness of your absence.
