Never seen a shipwreck I couldn't top

by Desdemona Sinestra

Two capsized ships
Passing in the night
Two misconceived as one
A series of Juxtaposed thoughts leeched from the disrupted flora

Driftwood fever dreams
For the gulls who’ve found a new perch
On a newly surfacing mast

And I’ll pretend I’ve done you wrong
I’ll say it just to make peace
But just once
I’d like for someone
To fall on her own cutlass for me

A new cry for the gulls
And for myself a fleet of new offal is set adrift:
Never seen a shipwreck I couldn’t top

Love what you've done here ma'am.

Brilliant isn't worthy of a one-word description, but it does capture how I feel after feeding on the chum of this gem, the perched upon ancient feast of heart
