stranded
by Ulyss Rubeya slim trim ship slipped silently thru the
straight and on into slick silent seas,
to lie with still slack sails as seamen
slept and provisions perished.
a small burled world twirled in white vapors.
one lost lone loon landed. ripples rose and
fell marking the center of the universe.
black bellows blew holes in humanity.
huge hollow halos hung on severed hallowed heads.
ghostly gods gobbled galaxys whole leaving
only slick silent seas and one stranded
ship with still slack sails.

Sound bites as space re-aligns...an astrolabour of love, mesinks. |
