Boats and Birds

She was a shipping yard,

Covered in snow and ice,

Her words broke apart in many ideas,

They shattered and fell,

To a ground of many pieces,

Cold waters and cold stares,

They kept her up and they kept insomnia,

As if upon a leash of little length,

Ideas and misplaces sentences grouped together,

They formed dreams that made her and,

The victims of her social stories, wonder,

Wonder and wander of a cause for such immagination,

Her boats, her ships, her plans of improvement,

They all seemed to bend with the test of time,

A spent and splendid, waiting and living,

Living for the fresh breaths that come with stale sea air,

Waiting for another foreign hello, and a local hello,

Sending thoughts, and sending gifts, all with a certain,

Very curious price, a file in a folder, she waited,

Tedious excitement and the glowing eyes of everyone else,

The smiles and the nods, as she went on her way,

She was a way from here to there,

And she was happy with her seas, her sometimes snow, and her sometimes ice.
