Awaken not Stirred

unfathomable
all contact lost
beyond reach of umami
petulance \'tis impenetrable
sonar blips blubbed, unopened as dead mail
pings re-echoed dispelled, quashed
peripheral smiles cast-off in scows
shipwrecked eyes lashed with umbilical sighs
all at sea, adrift hand-paddling 
willy nilly circling in coracle cradle corral
round and round the driftwood dry-rot 
spins in whirlpool hole, nebula black

awaken not stirred the cast-away
alights from sleep alone, prone and dripping wet
self-marooned, ring-fenced on atoll beach
in cuckoo\'s nest
