The Castaway

James Michael

his eyes turned blue by the sea

drifting endlessly 

rocked by the ebb and flow 

of the tide

companionship came to him

in the form of a fish

it followed the castaway 

never leaving his side

but hunger grew in him day by day

the fish could be a nice meal

he asked himself repeatedly 

“Is starvation worse 

than loneliness?”

certainly the castaway 

would never know
