The ferry

the ferry


 

we stood waiting

the sea stood still

arms hung there

limp, lopsided

some with baggage linked

marked the bags

as souls gazed around

while others marked a spot

and fixed did silently set

their dull eyes on it


 

the ferry awaited us

older than sea

tainted by it

murmured, moaned

we crossed its frontiers

delivering ourselves

to its dark hold

i wondered

were we leaving

or arriving
