Shipwreck

You don’t have to say a single thing

I’ve already conceived your great sincerity

I don’t come for vengeance or rebuttal

But in this aftermath there will be payment for my pain

I don’t know what I can prove

Though you would give it to me

All the clarity and peace that I have given up on

Like a ship within a library

Its water on the floor and soon

The ocean’s bottom teems with all the

Rusting works of man

This clears my ocean floor

And the ocean of my heart

Might beat so quietly

While up above the ship floats on its way
